Day 120. December 4, 2013. Glass-bottomed boat

Another night in the same state park here in the Keys.  We will be here total of 5 nights.  We had a raccoon visitor in the night....walking all over the picnic table with my dishes that were air-drying.  Paw prints all over. I had to clean everything up.

We went on a glass-bottomed boat trip of the state park's coral reef.  It was very nice.  We saw a lot of fish and turtles.  They warned us over and over about seasickness.  It is worse when you are watching the glass and the boat bounces up and down.  They talked so much about it that I started to feel a bit squeamish.   This is jelly fish season which the turtles love.  We learned a sad thing....the turtles mistake white plastic bags for jelly fish and eat them.  Then they get really sick.  They get taken by turtle ambulance to a turtle hospital to get it removed.  We want to visit there later if we can.  

We fished and swam.  We had bought a beautiful, huge avocado about a week ago, and it is now ripe.  We made some delicious guacamole for an appetizer.
