besides line dancing, climbing on waterfalls, playing in olympic fountains, snorkelling in the wild, diving for keys and lingering along lonely beaches i got to see somewhat exotic animals:


owls, bats, manatees, black bears, hermit crabs, butterflies, wild pigs, baby clams [and a humming bird right after our returning].

we had fun!

2008/08/16 going home

on our way home we passed alabama, too. we decided to drive past mobile..

..to use our time left for a visit in dauphin island.
as the weather was not too good [in terms of sunshine and going swimming], there were not many people, and we almost had the beach for ourselves. after having seen the pictures, you know why this was one of the most impressing stops of our whole journey.

but although we enjoyed every single one of our stops, we were glad when we finally saw our home's skyline again.
