I believe that Jacksonville is my favorite city in Florida. It has lots to offer and it's where my cousin Heather lives. Last night, I was in town so Heather and I had a lovely dinner at The Public Landing at a steak and seafood restaurant. Our table was by the window overlooking the St. Johns River. As we munched, a pod of dolphins swam by and put on a show. Later on as we strolled the river walkway, they swam by us again. Pure magical joy!

Main Street Bridge from Public Landing. (Dolphins were camera shy and swam by later.) |

Main Street Bridge to the left and fountain on other side of river. This really is a cool place to river and this photo does not begin to do it justice. |

We also strolled by a luxury yacht which is presumably belongs to the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was tied up right by the river walk so we naturally gawked with all of the other passerbys. It was over the top complete with spiral staircase - really?! Photo taken from parking lot. |
When I tell people about this experience, they are always amazed. They tell me that they never have seen dolphins this far downriver. Manatees, yes. Dolphins, no.
ReplyDeleteLinda and I could hear the dolphins clearing their blowholes even after it got too dark to see them in the river.
