visiting the manatees

So, once we left Jimmy's place, we headed down to Apollo Beach to visit the manatee scantuary at Tampa Electric... check out the link... http://www.tampaelectric.com/manatee/

This place is awesome! and totally free!!! A haven for manatee, which need warm water to survive, there was about 60 manatee's hanging out, looking like large rocks while floating, then gracefully lifting their heads to the surface to take a gulp of air... only to submerge again. There were all kinds of other animals hanging out, too.... A heron was standing in the water and we watched it catch a fish & eat it! very cool....
Jay looked below where we were standing too & saw that there were hundreds of fiddler crabs all over the beach!
We stayed for about an hour or so, then headed to our next destination.... St. Pete Beach!
