Swimming with the Manatees!!!


Crystal River, Florida
Jan. 2010
Stan and I went to Crystal River, Florida and joined up with an outfit called Birds Under Water. We rented wet suits, fins, masks and snorkles and set off for an incredible experience interacting with the manatees. We couldn't believe the number of them laying around sleeping or gliding past us in the water. They will actually roll over and let you rub their bellys. The trip truly ranks as one of our favorite and is one we intend to repeat with grandchildren eventually. Remember to take an underwater camera!!! If you want to go, we recommend using the group Birds Under Water, here is their web address: http://www.birdsunderwater.com
One descriptive word -- awesome!!!
