Barnacle Historic State Park

Our friend, O, took us to Barnacle Historic State Park. It was a lovely little oasis in the middle of bustling Coconut Grove. There is even a little mangrove clump along the bay.

Shark Valley, Everglade National Park



Still haven't updated tons of stuff but I did want to post these photos at the year's end. Simian and I saw tons of birds at the Everglades Shark Valley that made it to our Life list - Abhingas, Great and Little Blue Herons, Back Vultures, Limpkins and Great Egrets. We didn't see any Gators because it was the wrong season for them but it was a gorgeous visit nonetheless. I expected the Everglades to be much more marshy but it turned out to be very flat land. Apparently the water level rises a lot more but it was fairly dry when we went. A gorgeous trip.
