At every possible stop there was...you guessed it...alligators.
Dory had to stay in the car as we were fearful of letting her out even for a moment. This was reenforced when Donna stopped by the ranger station for a map and saw a photo of a gator eating a german shepherd (the dog not the nomad). In fact one of our guides on a later trip made a point of saying that if you get out of your car, make sure to leave the doors open so you can jump back in in a hurry. No mention was made of what to do if a gator had crawled in your car while you were away.
The day before Thanksgiving we took a boat tour of the Everglades 10,000 islands.
These mangrove (not to be confused with mango) covered islands are teaming with birds dining on fish....
and Pacific bottle nosed dolphins that rode the wake of our boat and jumped out of the water...
Tomorrow we leave for the Atlantic side of Florida, ah Palm Beach...Boca Raton.... the only alligators there are on izod shirts.
