Georgia-Florida Trip - Part 2

Saturday morning we got another early start and didn't even have breakfast before we decided to walk south on the beach, everything had been north and back so far. So I went to get us some coffee and the good news is that it came in large cups.
It was another beautiful morning but it was obvious that it was going to warm up fast and the ever present Florida humidity was high. As much as you sweat if you go outside in the southeastern states I don't know how people can ever keep up with their laundry.

Going south proved to be a good thing we got to see a young sea turtle making its way to the water, something very unusual in the daytime because they don't survive the sun. The good news is that he made it into the water eventually.




 Fortunately the little guy made it before these guys decided they wanted breakfast.



We also saw this guy digging a hole to get out of the sun. I always enjoy seeing different things when walking, hiking or running.


We spent the rest of the day at various locales on Cocoa Beach just enjoying catching up and relaxing.




We spent time at the Cocoa Beach Pier and then went to the Sand Bar where I had my first alligator tail. I don't think that I would ever have had to nerve to try it if I hadn't watch Troy Landry on Swamp People cook it. What can I say except that it, "tastes like chicken".


That night we went to an Irish Pub with my son and daughter in law. Jeff helped build the bar. The interesting thing is that the owner is from Ireland where he also owned a bar and a lot of this bar, "Hogan's Traditional Irish Pub" was built with materials brought from the Irish bar and other Irish locales. We had a good time and left with plans for a cookout the next day.
