I'm collecting photos from all of the paparazzi that seem to follow Mr. Tiki around. So one day while we sitting around talking tiki, he asked me about the beaches. There was no better time to make our way down to the beach for bike ride. Mr. Tiki is a little athletically challenged so we strapped him to the bike and away we went...

We started off in Deerfield Beach...

Put his toes in the sand...

Then we made our way up Gumbo Limbo Environmental Center...

This place is really cool and easy to get to. If you are in town and need a diversion from your typical tourist areas, I suggest this strongly. Here's Mr. Tiki hanging with some seahorses...

We made our way around the grounds and found this nice Chickee Hut - Mr. Tiki made sure to inform the other visitors that this is only a Tiki Hut when he's there!

After spending some time walking around the intercoastal we made our way to the main campus. He got really nervous when I told him that he would like the turtle rehab. He freaked out - apparently all he heard was "REHAB" and he was ready to leave. I convinced him to stay and we continued our journey...

FAU has a research facility at Gumbo Limbo and you can see the good work they do first hand. Here the nursery where they rehab the babies till they are ready to released back into the wild...

Lastly, Mr. tiki really liked the turtles. So we went down to the beach and got lucky that there was turtle on the beach. He dragged the turtle up to a good spot and forced the turtle to take several pictures with him...
