Our time at Crystal Beach is nearing it's end.
We have ridden our horses on the beach almost every day during our almost three weeks here.
At this point, both horses are pretty relaxed on the beach and have even gotten their toes a little wet.
On yesterday's ride, we noticed these sea creatures washed up all along the beach. They looked like jellyfish, but we weren't sure.
Turns out they are Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. I always thought this type of jellyfish would be a lot bigger - man of war sounds like it should be huge.
But, they are actually about the size of a dinner plate or smaller. They are quite alien-looking, like something out of a science fiction film.
Supposedly, their sting is quite painful and it can hurt for a couple of days.
The horses weren't afraid of the jellyfish at all.
We will be moving on towards Louisiana.
