The Everglades

After the cruise we took a tour of the Everglades on a fan boat with Derrick & Rochelle, and Shantay & Chaud. We were REALLY hoping to see some gators... we saw three!


Headed out....



Flying into the swamp on the fan boat.

Some wildlife....


We saw three gators, this video is of the first.

This is the second gator sighting. Notice Derricks hand in the picture.... Derrick (in his excitement) put his hand out of the boat, over the water and fairly close to the gator. The guide gave him a quick (and quite unprofessional) reproval and told us how a gator could easily take the bird off of the tree (in the below picture). He is lucky that he still has his arm!
Rochelle and I kissing a baby gator.

Gotta love seeing wild banana trees. But still... not quite ripe.
