When we left Sunrise, Florida, on 5 August, we headed west on I-75 (Alligator Alley) and visited Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and Kissimmee before heading north for Georgia. The first tourist sites we visited were in Sarasota. They were the Aquarium at Mote Marine Laboratory (www.mote.org) which included The Aquarium and the Ann and Alfred E. Goldstein Marine Mammal Research and Rehabilitation Center. We enjoyed the entire area very much! In my blog of 3 August I said, "All the many pictures from the aquarium and research facility will be in a separate blog entry." Here are Ben's pictures!
