The final leg of our Babymoon was back in Miami. We met another couple on the ship who was sticking around a while longer and ended up seeing the city together. It was a nice end to the trip. Here are the images to go with it.
This lighthouse is a part of Bill Baggs Florida State Park. It’s supposedly the same place that Ponce de Leon named the Cape of Florida when he explored the region in 1513.
The lighthouse was first built in 1825, but damaged in the Second Seminole War.
It was re-built in 1846 and is now the oldest freestanding structure in the area.
A manatee swimming just off shore.
Which is the stick and which is the bug? I can’t tell!
These next images are from the Miami Zoo. As far as zoos go, it’s a very nice one.
The always graceful flamingos.
I think this tortoise looks quite sage, don’t you?
Soaking up the sun.
Cute, but poisonous.
This little one was a bundle of energy and stopped only for a split second.
And why wouldn’t you stand like this?!
Well, that wraps up our Babymoon. It was a great trip, but we were anxious to get to France, settle and and await Alexander’s arrival. The next post will have a few images from our friends Gabi and Philipp’s wedding in Germany.
Until then…
