May 2009
I wound up in Florida again this year, but this time it was for work. I spent a week at a conference in Jacksonville. While I spent most it indoors at conference sessions, I managed to wander around the Riverwalk outside the hotel and take some photos.

This was the view from my "river view" hotel room

I ran into no manatees during my visit to JAX

The water taxi ferries people across the Saint Johns River

The Lone Sailor seems to be a recurring theme in my travels. For those keeping score this is number 4.
