I AM HAVING A LOVE AFFAIR -- WITH A DOLPHIN

Sunny is his name and he lives up to it. He lives at Marineland Florida not ten minutes from Karyn Jacobs, a friend I have known since Kindergarden. Karyn and I went to Marineland and did their swim with the dolphins.

Peek-a-Boo

Hello, there.

Shall we talk?

A flock of pelicans welcomed us.

This is one of our trainers for the day.

This is Nellie. She is the oldest dolphin in captivity at 57 years old. Dolphins live twice as long in these conditions as compared to living in the wild. Wild dolphins average age is 25.
These are a couple of the younger dolphins at two years old.
It is amazing how high they can jump.

Here we are giving the signal to talk and Sunny chattered away. He jumped for us, waved his fin for us, waved his tail for us, let us kiss him, twirled around for us, splashed his tail for us, plus so much more. They are so fun to be around.

This is just before I gave Sunny a big smooch.

After our wonderful dolphin experience we joined Karyn and Jim Jacobs at JT's Seafood Shack for a great dinner. Here we are -- the travelers -- as they called us. Thank you both for making our visit to the St. Augustine area very memorable.
