FL17 - Day 11

Today my aching foot seemed a little better. The swelling gone down a little.

So as I was walking wounded we decided to go to a wildlife rescue centre in Davie FL that we last went to when we were staying in nearby Weston.

TomTom said 39 minutes and 23 miles. He was probably right but it seemed much much longer. Traffic and traffic lights.

The park has some areas that were hit by the hurricanes and so parts are closed. The rest rooms by the aviary had the roof stoved in by falling bits of tree. Luckily none of the animals and birds were hurt.


Of course there are flamingos. There are what seems like hundreds of Florida White Ibis. Everywhere you go. There they are.

The highlight for us was the new home of the Florida River Otters. They are all there because they have been injured in some way. They breed and the young are then released into the wild. They are so quick getting a photo is difficult.

The run back to La Costa via Publix was much quicker. Except a wrong turn at school kicking out time.... Who needs twenty big yellow buses when parents drive and block all the roads?

So. Tonight. Another meal in. A lazy-ish afternoon reading and sitting in the hot sea air on the balcony.

Tomorrow?  Who knows?
