Okay, so let’s be honest, I haven’t really sat down and written a “bucket list”, but if I did swimming with manatees would be on it. As a sixteen-year-old I had the amazing opportunity to swim with dolphins in Hawaii and again as an adult in Cancun (which was actually a bit better since it wasn’t as regulated and we even got to have the dolphins push us along by our toes as we stood in the water).
Having had such wonderful experiences, I am even more curious to discover what it would be like to swim with the massive, chubby, short-legged creatures known as manatees.
This week as we have been learning about the Everglades, we couldn’t resist viewing a little footage of what that experience would be like.
Enjoy!
