Just out of interest, is the environment for the dolphins REALLY that much better in Florida than it is in Turkey??? If they can swim as much as 100 miles per day in their natural habitat,surely they are just as restricted in Florida as in Kas.

We swam with dolphins in Jamaica.  This will give you some idea of the area they have to swim in.
We watched the dolphins before we went in and they seemed to play around together when no-one was in the water.  The trainers gave us information about the dolphins and they claim that a wild dolphin will live for 25 years and a captive one around forty years.
There was four of us that went in together.  After we had been in the next group went to a pool in another bay.  The dolphins did their own thing in between.
They did not appear distressed.  Having said that I would still have preferred to meet them on their terms in their own environment.

Heather,

I'm no astronomer but that isn't a solar eclipse. That is the sun behind a branch of a palm tree :D
