We woke up to a chilly, breezy day, but the sun is shining so all is well. We went to the Wakodahatchee Nature Preserve nearby and had a lovely walk on the boardwalk over the wetlands. We saw alligators, an iguana, egrets, ibis, Great blue herons, small blues, night herons, cormorants and anhingas along with some that we weren't sure of. We also saw some turtles and fish. I think the best part of the walk was seeing the babies: herons, anhingas, and moorhens. They were all very fuzzy and cute. We can't post any pix as we downloaded the camera onto our laptop and Sandy and Larry don't have wireless. I am using their computer with dial-up to post the blogs while we are here. It has been a long time since we have used dial-up - seems like ancient times, but we are not complaining - so it takes a bit longer - we have time. After lunch, Larry and Sandy went to a doctor appointment for Larry and Dave and I read for a bit. We had an early dinner of hot dogs last night and then went to a lecture put on by the women of Brandeis University. The speaker was an anchor woman from a local news channel. She was very young and didn't quite hit the mark of the topic which was Politics and the Media, but she did have a few interesting stories. We came home and had dessert and chatted until just after eleven before going to bed. Tomorrow we are going to a Japanese garden of some sort. I hope the weather will be nice so we can get some good pictures.
