Directions:

• We took a short boat ride to the park. From there, we walked throughout the park, and then returned to the parking area by walking.

After our kayak ride, we went to a wildlife park. Most of the animals were here because they were injured and could not survive on their own, or because they were too acclimated to humans. I did feel bad about seeing the animals in captivity (you could tell some of them were very bored) but felt better that they were here for a reason. Another thing on my bucket list was to see flamingos. I'd have preferred to have seen them in the wild, but this was still very exciting for me.

Lots of manatees here as well
