Traveling the Everglades

Today was an exciting day - we traveled the Florida Everglades. Dennis said that he is going to get a hold of "Ripleys Believe it or Not" to let them know
that Myrna went on an airboat ride in alligator country and enjoyed it. We were in the front row on the airboat, right up close to the action and the wilderness feeling it gave. The ride definitely was exciting.

Rick and Dennis held a little one and a half year old alligator named Snappy, we have the pictures as the proof. The whole tour was so interesting and the guide told us so much interesting stuff about the area.

We also stopped at the Everglades information centre and they
had a wooden walkway which allowed us to get fairly close to alligators sunning themselves and many unusual birds that inhabit the everglades. All along highway 41 there were alligators and birds galore. We were lucky that it warmed up today as they really enjoy the sunshine.
We are camped at Shady Acres RV Park, Fort Myers, Florida.
