Sun, Nov 18:  Lake Manatee SP, Bradenton, FL:  Started out cloudy this morning, then cleared off, then clouded up again.  Sat outside reading for a while.  No snake activity today—at least not yet.  We walked the trail to the lake and sat around watching a heron for a while.  Didn’t see any tortoises either.  Back to our site and had some lunch.  Yesterday we were talking to two couples staying here from Key Largo.  I asked what they were doing here—they live in paradise.  Said they needed a change.  One of the guys was a professional fisherman who had a very sexy accent.  Turns out he’s from Argentina.  Don’t know if he’s a commercial fisherman or a charter boat captain.  They were gone this morning.  Only here for one night.  I’m sure it was in the 80s today.  Left-over steak for dinner tonight. 

Walking the trail to the lake.

Mike's back is bothering him a lot today.




Not sure what this heron is.  Don't think it's a night heron.
