Back to Reality

A couple of weeks in Florida and Hers and I almost feel human again. The Crim Pro heavy CSI repeat we caught this morning barely caused any nausea at all. We had a great time spending a little more than a week in Key West and then a few days east of Marathon. It's been hot and humid, but the ocean is beautiful and we've enjoyed it. The highlight of our trip had to be our one-day trip to the Dry Tortugas and old Fort Jefferson. The Tortugas are a small group of islands west of Key West. It's about a 2 and a half hour boat ride. The centerpiece is Fort Jefferson, an old civil war brick fort. Some of the best snorkeling we've ever seen is just off the fort. Coral grows right off the fort wall that drops straight into the ocean. Schools of bait fish and larger fish hang out there as well including a couple of barracuda. Some land-based pictures follow.
