Fort Lauderdale Recap, Part Three


Topping my itinerary was an airboat tour on the Everglades - mostly because I was intent on coming face-to-face with an alligator. We were the last visitors of the day at Everglades Holiday Park and unexpectedly enjoyed a private tour on the wetlands. The best part? We were attacked by an alligator. Seriously. One of the gators we spotted in the distance submerged himself to swim closer, coming up to the surface periodically before ramming his body against the boat. As it turns out, alligators are normally passive, but it was mating season and there must have been a desirable female nearby.

  1. I have a picture of my nephew holding an alligator just like that.
    We went on a crocodile tour in Costa Rica once. Our guide was a refugee from Cuba.
    I have always wanted to go to the Everglades.
    Looks like you had a good time.
