Cleo experiences fresh water.

Some refer to the intracoastal waters of the Indian River as brackish water, part salt, part fresh.  Cleo refers to it as home. Now she is on a journey. Her first stop in in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Her adopted family took her along on a hike through the woods to a fresh water stream. The sound of the water rushing through the rocks was exciting. It was much cooler air and much colder water. She enjoyed sunning on the rocks, her tan had begun to fade.

Cleo's new friends explore the river as

she relaxes soaking up the sun's rays.

Now Cleo was 'happy as a clam,' she was

living her dream of seeing the world

and experiencing new things!
