Exciting Everglades

Before we left on our cruise we had been staying at the Miami Everglades Campground, and so of course, we had to go for an airboat ride through the Everglades!  If I could get the video to play on the blog, you would be impressed!!!  It was really awesome!
The lovely little alligators that we saw within arms reach of our boat were pretty cool, too!  David was re-living his television memories of Gentle Ben (Ha - who knows what I'm talking about??)
The area where we are staying has tons of agriculture as well, fields of tomatoes, flowers, okra, acres of palm and banana trees, papaya, mango, avacado - it is so neat to see how all these
foods are grown.

It has been about 28 degrees most days, with  100 % humidity.

We hear that our friends back home who had to make a road trip to Edmonton experienced the world's coldest temperatures that day at -50 degrees Celsius.  That is ridiculously cold and nasty.  We are doing everything we can to absorb all the heat down here and send warm thoughts back home to Alberta!!!

  1. That is so cool to be able to take an airboat ride. How fun!

    I think that alligator is giving me the evil eye!!

    I have finally thawed out from Edmonton...it is going to be a balmy +1 here! I think the humidity is around 78%, so we are really close to having the same weather as you!! LOL!!
