Manatee

I have been looking for Manatee but so far no luck. Today that changed. We went to the hardware store ( nice Ace on Orange ave) and there was this cute statue of a manatee.

"Manatee at work" the sign says.

After lunch walking around the waterfront we saw our first manatee and I believe there were actually three together. Only one surfaced at a time. You can tell something is different because their tails are wide and come to a point. Whereas dolphins have split tails. They stay to the surface and are slower diving back down but I still have not been able to get a picture. Dolphins are even faster evading the camera.

This downtown area apparently has a huge federal court building and other circuit court buildings with many law offices nearby. Lady justice was above one such office.
