John Pennekamp State Park - Key Largo, flariduh

So we went snorkeling, and during the whole time we were there it was the Portugese Man of War migration...

Apparently using Picasa to blog is "easier" but you have to know how to edit html...I just don't care enough for all that!
Anyways, we went on a $40 snorkel tour in Key Largo which is the first key south of Miami (as in welcome to Key Largo Bitch!). The first pic is their swim area...
This is us coming up towards the reef area. It's a 1/2 hour boat ride out, and then everything is shallow all of a sudden and there's snorkeling!
See...shallow!
There's the sign saying "Grecian Reef." I didn't see any guido's, but then again my mask kept fogging.
