Last Day in Florida

The last day we were in Florida, it was a picture perfect day as you can see by the pictures. The sun was shining brightly, and the ocean was beautiful. The temp was in the upper 70's and felt great.




After eating lunch at the local airport, great food there, we heard that a pigmy sperm whale had beached on shore. These TV stations were there all day, and after I found out, I went there to take some pictures, but I was too late. Unfortunately, since the whale was suffering from a heart disease and was not well, the decision was made to euthanize it and take it away for tests and for studying. They reported that there have been past efforts to save pigmy sperm whales in better shape than this one, and they have never been successful. Anyway, I didn't get pictures of the whale or the effort to save it, but I did get a picture of the TV trucks.

Good bye, Florida. We had a great time. And thanks to Charlene for being a great hostess.
