Biscayne National Park



Biscayne National Park

Feb 13, 2009

Biscayne National Park was beautiful as well. 95% of the park is underwater so therefore, we were able to enjoy another boat ride!! As we crossed the bay, the depth of the water was never more than 9 feet! We were able to peer over the side of the boat and watch the coral reefs and brightly colored fish go by. We learned the history of the sea sponges we were seeing. The history of the people on the islands and the pineapple farms that were destroyed simply because a big storm dumped seawater on the crops. It made the land unfarmable for a time.

The color of the water is indescribable. I can’t believe that water can really be that beautiful; every time I see it, it blows me away!

As we reached the island with its picturesque white lighthouse, the terns took off covering the sky and the air with their cries. We walked the island and of course got to dip our feel in the sand and water!
