On the Wings of a Dolphin: South Carolina to the Florida Keys

(Posted by Caitlin)

After the zipline in North Carolina, we proceeded southeast to Charleston, SC (no pictures of Charleston...it wasn't that great) and followed the coast down to the Florida Keys.

South Carolina

We hiked 6 miles in a national flood plain

We saw several cardinals...my favorite birds

Just outside of Fort Lauderdale, we spent two nights with the Larry and Gina Korda. When Steve (Andy's dad) was ten, he and his family left Hungary during the revolution of the 50's to come to the US. Larry Korda was also ten and his family temporarily took in the Sego's. And the Korda's took us in for a few days. Larry gave us a tour around Fort Lauderdale and suggested numerous of activities to us. They took us out to dinner at a great seafood place and their daughters, Shawna and Becca, made us pancakes with fresh fruit!

Thanks again you guys!

The Keys

We went snorkeling 6 miles of the shore of Key Marathon for almost two hours at the best reef in the Keys. Here's a video someone else made of their snorkeling experience of the same reef.

We saw all kinds of fish and corral, a sand shark, dozens of barracuda, and a large moray eel.

Two manatees popped up while we awaited our snorkeling boat and were enticed by hose water
