This is taken from the observation deck at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Refuge, the best place to spend the day and view manatees in Homosassa. 

While we were watching these people on the pontoon boat preparing to swim with manatees, dolphins came in up the Homosassa River. 

I just barely captured one on the far left of the picture, right in front of the kayaker. There were two of them. Dolphins and manatees in the same spot!

First room was disgusting. The couch was unusable and belongs on the side of the road. Bedside lights didn’t work. Second room was marginally better. The room had an odor. Bath lights and outlets were interconnected and electrically confusing. Will drive 20 miles away to avoid staying here ...
