Manatees!

A month ago Carole and I went snorkeling with manatees.
Whee! It's finally out. Of course, my Livejournal userpic has been me swimming with a manatee for the last month so the secret's not been kept all that well, but nonetheless, we've been in that ugly state of mind where we've done something really neat-o but don't want to post about it until we can select from the hundreds of photos and dozens of short video clips we took and put up a page summarizing how awesome the experience was.
I think I'd have probably had it all up lang syne, but I had that wretched cold that lasted for two weeks.
Anyway, we went down to the west coast of Florida, to the town of Brooksville, for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. While we were there we went drift diving in the Rainbow River near the town of Dunnellon. We'd been told by the most-recommended local dive operator that his manatee snorkeling tours were all full up for the days we'd be in the area, but happily, after we got back from the drift dive it turned out that they'd had a couple spots open up and we got to go manatee snorkeing after all.
Manatees, it turns out, are like big kitties. They love having their bellies scritched. Carole wanted to take one home.

I'm sure Carole's going to have a lot more to say, so I'm going to let her read this and comment.
