Today everyone woke up slightly more refreshed after having a hard two days of travel. I was delighted to learn that the resort has resident cats that are very friendly and love a good pat - too bad we can't take them home!

Anthony's Key is gorgeous. Walking around the Key makes me feel as if I'm in some sort of dream vacation magazine. Except this dream vacation has more bugs, which honestly is a price I'm willing to pay. 

Before going for a dive/snorkel we were introduced to the onsite museum and lab. I look forward to spending more time in there, and not just because of the premium air conditioning. Lots of critters were seen on the reef during the dive. From Caribbean spiny lobsters to sea turtles, the divers got to enjoy getting up close to the amazing sights of the reef as they brushed up on their skills. Despite a bit of sea sickness, the snorkelers also had fun getting in the water and exploring the reef.
