We enjoyed the sights of Tarpon Springs on Thursday and Friday.  Here is some of what we saw.
There were many, many stores along the waterfront selling the sponges that had been gathered from the Gulf.
One of the many sponge boats docked along the waterfront
The main street on the Greek waterfront, Dodecanese Street.  This picture was taken early in the day, before it got busy.
We enjoyed the aquarium in Tarpon Springs.  Here Lynda is feeding the sharks a bit of shrimp that had been skewered on a stick!
These birds, a snowy egret, a little blue heron and a great egret were waiting for the fisherman to dispose of the fish they were cleaning.
Hey, where'd my dinner go!

Maybe they put it over here.

Looks like I might have to go and get it myself!
Oh no, both Bob and Lynda have been "et" by the shark.  Who will bring the boat home?


The "Capt'n" at Capt'n Jack's Restaurant, located right next to our boat!
Another beautiful ending to a great day
