The Final Day in the Keys

Hi Mom.... The keys have been excellent. We will be home in one day to tell you all the jaw dropping details of the trip. This morning we started off the day with ham and eggs. After breakfast we went out on the boat to Rodriguez key. We started off snorkeling on the south side of the key, where Jessica picked up goniolithon(algae) from the sea floor. When we got back on the boat we got to break it apart and find all of the living organisms within it. We found decorator crabs, mantis shrimp and a hermit crab. After this we came back in for lunch, which consisted of burgers, fries and a volleyball game afterwords (the girls team and stevie ray won that game). On a bumpy ride out to the reef in the afternoon, Stevie finally saw his great barracuda and Nick saw his Nurse Shark. At the next site we went to, the group saw a HUGE brain coral and a GIGANTIC parrotfish. Tonight we are going out on the boat to go stargazing in Largo Sound. This will be our last boat trip in the keys. Cant wait to see everyone back home.
