The first day we went to the south end of the park. There was a great boardwalk walkway where we saw lots of birds and alligators. I was okay with the birds, but the gators were really scary. I figured I would just be an appetizer for them!
All of a sudden I looked down and who do you think
He was looking right at me! Then we turned the corner and I was shocked and scared to death to see so many in one place. Mom told me they were just trying to get some rays as that builds their energy for their night hunting. Liked the sound of that "night hunting", mabe I am safe!
Even the ranger said he had not seen so many of them together and that he was going back to his car to get his camera!
The next day mom and dad left me at home while they took an airboat ride through the everglades, although I think I would have liked the trip. Seemed it would be more air then sticking my head out of the window of the car.
And off they went right through the grass - quite a fun ride....
until they got stuck....
luckily there were no gators in this part as the guys had to get off and rock the boat out of the thick grass. While we were there several
beautiful birds came up to the boat.
Then a bit further down was Scarface, a huge male gator.
They even saw more gators, birds and fish when they stopped at the Big Cyprus National Preserve.
Sure had fun at these parks. Next stop, South Beach Miami Art Deco District and the Fairchild Botanical Gardens.
Adios,
Yuki
