Anhinga Trail, Feb. 26, 2012 & Dinner w Jorge & Kiki Feb. 25

Flew to Miami a day early for our Caribbean cruise. Had dinner with Jorge and Kiki in Miami (yum - SO good, churrascuro (sp?) steak was incredible!) The next morning I drove to the Everglades, and spent a couple hours photographing critters on the Anhinga Trail.
