Catching up

The rest of last week in Hudson passed pretty quietly. We've decided that due to the "cheap" rate we get at the Encore parks the sites are always at the back of the park. This isn't bad as long as the back ..backs up to something besides a busy road. This one backed up to a very busy road. There was a line of trees between us and the road but this didn't do much for muffling the road noise. As long as we kept the door closed and the TV and AC on it wasn't too bad. But, open that door and we thought that NASCAR had moved in next door.

The people we met were friendly. Gary even played pool with some of the guys one day.

On Wednesday we went to the Homosassa Springs Nature Park. This park is a small park with many animals and birds on display. We enjoyed walking around and seeing everything. There were a couple of Ranger lead programs that were very interesting. And best of all, we saw manatees. These are awesome creatures. So gentle. They came right up to the Ranger and ate carrots and sweet potatoes out of her hand. They have 6 manatees in residence. They are in the park due to injuries, mostly caused by boat propellers.

The only non-native animal still in the park is Lulu their hippo. Very impressive creature!!

Check out the pictures...I'm trying something new..a slideshow. If you double-click on the picture the album will open with larger pictures. Or, just let it run.
