Dry Tortugas National Park May 31, 2010

I will post more about our visit later, but I wanted to post a picture of the beautiful ocean, the water is actually more teal than it appears in the picture and so clear that you can't tell how deep it is. 

How long it will stay clear and beautiful like this is anyone's guess, it all depends on the currents which are pretty unpredictable.  Someone there said "It is like taking a bullet, you don't want it to happen to anybody, but it is going to happen, so you just hope it isn't you".  As we were enjoying the beautiful water, thousands of birds, the coral reef, and thousands and thousands of fish that the oil spill could destroy it all in a matter of days. 

Anyway, 135 National parks down 256 to go.
