Teach Him How to Fish

Give a man a fish and
you will feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish and you
feed him for a lifetime.
...Lao Tzu

All these pelicans are patiently waiting for the fishing boat to return. When they clean the fish, it is dinner time for the pelicans.

We spent the day in Tarpon Springs, a Greek community, and sponge capital of the world.

I have never seen the town so jam packed with tourists before...and on a Wednesday! The beaches at sunset were super crowded too!

Tarpon Springs is an interesting small Greek town, full of tradition and history in sea sponge diving. I like to go there to stock up on silk face sponges and wool body sponges. They do not grow bacteria and last a long time.
