Back In Marathon

We spend two days in Key Largo and then we were off to Marathon for two days.

On the way, we stopped at Robbie's to feed the tarpon..... boy are they some big fish!

It was cute how the pelican would follow us down the dock.  They are pretty cute, but we were told they bite so don't feed them.


As Cathy was holding a fish to throw at the tarpon a seagull flew by and snatched it right out of her hand.  We were totally surprised!



Time for goofy photos!



 


 
Florida is the Sunshine State.  Here Brady and I are protesting that statement.  We have barely seen sunshine!!!  It's raining while we are taking the photo below.


Then we went to Aquarium Encounters.  The highlight for me was petting the sting rays!

 
Below the photo shows how they feed them.  They slap the bottle on the water and they come in.   

 

 The starfish was my favorite in the touch pool!  We could even hold them.  There were tons of suckers on it belly!



 

 More petting sting ray photos.
 


We also took them to Sombrero Beach for a beach day.  The sun actually came out for a while!  Cathy was busy looking for shells.... not many could be found. 
 


 

 


We noticed people setting up video camera and cameras all morning.  Looked liked an endurance game for a reality show.  Turns out they were videotaping a French reality show called French Trip.  We didn't stay for the actual contest, but watched them tape some footage with the host.


 
We did see some dolphins playing in the swim area off the beach.  Our second sighting of dolphins on the trip.
