Trek to Alligator Pond.

Wi nevva even catch cole!๐Ÿ˜ญ

That's the fate of fisherfolk. Sometimes the fish are running and sometimes they keep their mouths shut.

About a week ago, we went out from our usual spot in Duncans, Trelawny, but not even the fisherman who took us got a bite.

So,  having been told that Alligator Pond in Manchester had better fishing grounds, we drove over three hours for the big catch.

Shanti who took us out

We stopped at Sunny Isle Cay. Last year's hurricane wrecked sections of it.

This is by Sunny Isle Cay off the coast of Alligator Pond

The only thing we caught all morning was sea weed.๐Ÿ˜ญ

Three times I thought I got a bite and it was sea grass. Not even the fisherman got a nibble.

That area would be great for manatee (sea cow) but we ate them into virtual extinction on the south coast.

Anyway it was a good trek as we got an Airbnb and lymed at Little Ochi the night before.

It's Desantis' fault!

 We visited the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago recently and although it was a great learning experience, we had to pay three times the regular adult entrance fee๐Ÿ˜ก.

We three Florida residents got charged far more than anyone else๐Ÿ˜ก.
 
The posted entry fee was $19 but when we showed our id's which revealed that that we are residents of Florida, we were charged a whopping $49.95!

I can think of no other reason for the inequity except for the fact that we live in a state controlled by that obnoxious Ron DeSantis!

For what else could be the cause?

To tell the truth, I too would charge anyone who I suspected may have, directly or inadvertently, caused that idiot to be the Governor of a state so can now be on the nation's stage, double or triple, so I guess I can't complain too loudly.๐Ÿ˜†  

My friend says it's a 'punishment tax'.☺

Love it.

Fascinating beluga whales frolic in their deep pools.

This aquarium,  the third largest in the nation is a great place to visit though, whether you are an adult or child.

We learned a lot after spending hours on end observing the behavior of some animals that we are familiar with and others that had previously been unknown to us.

So much to learn.


Dolphins delight the audience every time.๐Ÿ˜Š 

The world of corals is vividly displayed. I thought corals were plants, but learned they are animals!



The largest lobster I have ever seen!

Yes, it's expensive for Floridians, but still worthwhile!
