Theatre of the Sea - Florida Keys Islamorada

We left Florida City and headed down to Key Largo and along Hwy 1 through the Keys.  Our first stop was in Islamorada at the Theater of the Sea, a show of sea animals including dolphins, sea lions, giant sea turtles, parrots, iguana amongst others all within a salt water lagoon.  We were really impressed with the care they gave their animals, many of which had been injured by fishing nets and boat props...some turtles were swimming with lift jackets or weights to solve congenital buoyancy problems.  And the parrots.....wow, they solve shape and colour puzzles and can add and subtract all of which our 16 month old grandchild is incapable of doing (yet!!)
