 Daytona Beach... Joan an I had a couple suites and a couple of our kids were able to join us. |
 Surf is up... and close |
 Driving down to the lighthouse for a morning outing |
 It's a ways up there... and... hey... who is that on the top? |
 Why, it's Peder and Kirsten taking in the views |
 I needed to go up there myself... and I'm looking back to where I was looking up in the previous photo |
 Is this pointing to something? Follow the shadow? |
 Eyes up... and looking north toward the lengthy Daytona Beach... a pretty sight |
 This part of Daytona is sort of an island between ocean and river |
 The other direction, where the river meets ocean |
 Some of the locals in "older" Daytona... some folks have ocean views |
 Some people just MAKE there own views... interesting architechtural addition |
 This is a good look down the tower (and at the feet) |
 Hey, there's Joan, heading to the next museum building... no, I didn't do the "yell at her" thing... (I'M UP HERE!) |
 Hmmm.... what are these for? Air conditioned simming pools? |
 Maybe to deter the birdies |
 A telephoto shot of the high-rise area... that is miles... we're somewhere in there... actually, a few miles farther up |
 A standard lense view |
 I thought the stairwell had a fascinating look... and it's pretty in its own way... and just a bit disorientating |
 Lunch after the lighthouse venture... checking out the menus |
 It's a local place... very near the lighthouse... and it was highly recommended |
 Peder enjoying the outdoor seating |
 The boat is a river taxi... and the birds are some local beggars |
 Peder is curious and gets some great shots |
 Kirstin apparently isn't all that fond of the seagull birdlife |
 So... I need to get a shot of her smile along with the bird |
 Hmmmm.... sneaking around to snag some food |
 IS THAT BIRD PERCHED ON KIRSTEN'S SHOULDER!!?? (no... just a telephoto) |
 Another day-trip... to a spring that manatees use in winter (the water is warmer) |
 We certainly don't have the "tree-moss" thing in Wisconsin |
 Marna and Firas are with us on this outing |
 Hey, there's a manatee... they're so cool |
 The spring comes from up there... sort of a short river emptying into the James River |
 Hey, there's a bunch of 'em |
 This guy's a bit more active |
 Just hanging out with some buds |
 Looks like some conversation here |
 Walking up to the actual spring |
 Back to the beach... and some wind |
 The beach... and a boardwalk area... but very few tourists... I prefer the slow times in terms of tourism |
 But, plenty of various birds |
 Goofy little guys run back and forth in the waves... and some bigger guys like to stand around acting cool |
 Setting the tone... some restful slumber after a busy day of walking |
 Marna says, "I'll join you." |
