We began day four of this trip by taking a walk around the State Park. Immediately behind our cabin masses of what I believe are Fiddler Crabs in the still waters of the bay. Keeping an eye out for local wildlife (there were Rattlesnake warnings as well as the chance of Alligators), we made or way to the ocean beaches across the peninsular. We had a gentle paddle along the beach, Ivor temporarily taking up residence in some other big kids sandcastle as we walked. The brackish waters on the peninsular were hosting several deer as well as a lone egret. After this enjoyable stroll we took a ride back along the coast to Apalachicola now a quiet small port but in its heyday an important outlet for cotton and a busy sponge farming location. Lovely quiet streets and squared sheltered a host of pretty homes. As we returned westwards there was still time to take a couple of walks along contrasting sea shores and also find pelicans taking a rest.
