Today we decided to spend a good portion of the day at Theater of the Seas which is about 10 miles down the Keys from Key Largo which features marine animals – part zoo and interactive theme park. Years ago the site was dug up from a coral reef by a railroad entrepreneur trying to create a quarry for mining coral and in the process created a huge crater and the venture was later abandoned. Now it serves as home to a variety of marine life. We watched trained sea lions and dolphins in several performances, but the funniest were the variety of exotic birds, several which were taught to “paint,” which they did for Tina. At the end of the day I managed to get in about 30 minutes of fishing off the pier in front of the RV catching several sea bass that I threw back. Tomorrow we head out in a boat to explore several coral reefs.
