Day 11. Another day at the beach!

Beautiful day!  Lets go to the ' Office' and read the book!

Packed up picnic and off we go.  First we stop at The Eco Centre.  It's where schools or groups come to learn about the conservation of the Mangroves and their wildlife.  There is a Manatee conservation area there. We didn't see any though.

Off we went to the office, only to find it was reserved for a Baby Shower.  So we has to go to another one.  It was lovely there but just set off the beach.  We listened to another seven chapters of the book. Whilst having our picnic, we saw a Racoon, I was a little scared, it was quite close to us.  There was also a sign telling you the beach was called Coloured Beach.  It said that in the early 20th century, the people of South Florida wanted the Black community as far away from Palm Beach as they could. This area had been designated for the Blacks, but the road never got built and it never happened.

After a long day at the beach, Clive took me into Ft. Launderdale to look at the homes and beach area. Fabulous!  Then off we go to The Mall!  We did some window shopping and got a Gelatto - delicious!

Home and tonight, some TV!
