We are staying on Pensacola Beach, which is an island just off the coast from Pensacola. So on one side of our building is the gulf and on the other is a bay. The view above is from the bay side. Today we spent several hours walking along the shoreline looking for wildlife.
I saw this crab running along under the water and as he saw me coming and buried himself under the sand. I called Chris over and we got him out of the sand with a flipper. Then Jon and Chris followed him and got him into a plastic bucket. You probably can't see it from the photo, but he was very blue and, once we put him down, he got pretty defensive.
We also found a lot of hermit crabs. We still have the one Emily is holding as he was a rather social character.
Tonight we ate at Flounder's, a seafood restaurant just down the road. I had some wonderful mahi-mahi, my new favorite fish. And as you can see from the photo, I am not sunburned! Two whole days in the sun and I'm doing great. Life in the sun has never been this good!
