We did not ride today. We had a delicious breakfast at Lenny's, a locally famous restaurant with a whimsical atmosphere. Then we went sight seeing with our tour guide, Sean. We introduced Sean to geocaching and he had great beginners luck in finding the caches. We found two out of three. Sean drove us to Tarpon Springs where we took a boat tour demonstrating sponge diving. It was obviously contrived, but enjoyable, none the less. Lunch at Hellas Greek restaurant included the best gyros we have ever eaten. After lunch, we took another boat tour out into the Gulf of Mexico. We saw a couple of dolphin before we even left the port. Later in the tour one of the guides drug the bottom with a net and pulled up live sand dollars, sea urchins, and other creatures. We also saw jellyfish, sting rays, great blue herons, pelicans, and many other birds. Next we went to a putt-putt course where they had live alligators (they looked sleepy to me) and enjoyed a round of miniature golf. Sean, Jeff and I ended the day enjoying the rest of the evening at the hotel pool.
