Wednesday 26th Feb

Another quiet day. We had to walk down to view the sand-pumping operations of course. Here's the operation in full flow.



It looks more impressive in the original video but I don't know how to include a video in a blog - yet!


This is one for Susan. It was even more crowded yesterday in the sun.


After that we went to the local historical museum in Cocoa which is inland from here. The main exhibit was based on the Windover archaeological site a few miles North of where we are. During preparations for building work a 7-8,000 year old cemetery preserved in peat had been discovered at the bottom of a pond. 90-odd intact skulls were unearthed with enough preserved brain tissue to do DNA sequencing. This has upset a few theories about when American Indians arrived and where they came from.
