Larry and I left early to go to Everglades National Park. What a terrific place: We took two hikes--one through park of the Everglades on a kind of boardwalk and saw several alligators, turtles, herons, and ibis; took lots of picture. Then went through the shady part, very different. Guess the first was about a mile, the second half that.
We then drove 36 miles to Flamingo where we had lunch and went on a flat-bottomed boat through the Everglade waterways. So interesting and great fun, notwithstanding the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes--but hey, it was worth all that, especially as a terrific thunderstorm came up--heavy rain, which cooled things off.
About to jump in the shower, then we'll have dinner (Helen made a delicious-looking meatloaf) and go to the movies to see Bridesmaids.
Having SUCH a great time!
