1 November -Woke to a very humid morning but the day got better as we headed north. Had a late start but I checked out the African Queen - the one from the Humphrey Bogart / Katherine Hepburn movie.It was in a pretty poor state of repair but apparently you can still go for a ride in it. It looked a bit to leaky for this little black duck!! Overall I like Key Largo - except for the humidity :)
We headed north and stopped for an air boat ride - something I've wanted to do for about 100 years. Finally did it and spotted a lot of big mean toothy alligators and petted one in the wild- which was incredibly scary. I have photographic proof of this on Lee's camera but her memory card pooped itself so we need to find a way to retrieve the shots or you wont believe me.
I loved the air boat and the Everglades - it was all just as I imagined. Another thing off the bucket list.
After facing wild alligators - which our Indian guide said we shouldn't be too concerned about because we should be more scared of the water snakes - we started seeing the signs below popping up. WTF! Now Larry and Robby - you have been running scared of our Australian critters but for goodness sake...alligators AND panthers. Good grief.
Spent the rest of the day heading north and am now stopped for the night at Sarasota Florida and plan a long drive tomorrow to get to Nashville the following day.
