We stopped at a state park near Englewood Beach where we heard we might find shark’s teeth. There were lots of big herons hanging around the people fishing from the beach. We met a nice lady with a special scooper for taking shells and other stuff out of the water and she helped us find our first teeth.
The black shark’s teeth are prehistoric. The white ones are more recent. Sharks lose a lot of teeth – that’s why there are so many around. By early afternoon, Morgane was an experienced tooth finder. We have a nice bag of them to bring home.
I went for a walk on my own to the point and on the way was surprised to find a tortoise on the path. At the point, there were some people who had come by boat and they were watching three wild dolphins.
We left the park around two and headed to St. Petersburg where there was a gathering of VW van owners. We spent a great evening with them playing glow-in-the-dark frisbee and even glow-in-the-dark petanque (bocce). They let us stay for the potluck dinner even though we came with empty hands and they found a spot for us to park as well. The vans were beautiful – one was from 1964! There were also a couple of little girls for Morgane to play with.
We left this morning, glad to have met our first live (not on-line) VW group.
