On Thursday, with our friends
Nona and Anthony, we visited the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton.
Gumbo Limbo is a new modern
nature education center and turtle rehab facility. We hiked a boardwalk nature trail through a mangrove
hammock (i.e. forest),
climbed an observation tower (and photographed the great view)
saw the turtle hospital, looked
at two large sea habitat pools and looked down on a turtle nursery. Baby turtles that have been found on the
beach in harm's way are brought here and Gumbo Limbo provides the care they
need until they are strong enough to go it alone.
