Today was our last in the Everglades NP. So we rode out to a couple of trails near the entrance (we are 40 miles from there at our campsite) and they were excellent. Because of our late night we did not start early but that was ok. We arrived in time for a ranger talk with an energetic ranger that may have been a frustrated actor. Nice job! Then a walk down the Anhinga Trail where there were abundant gators, lots of neat birds, turtles and fish. On the way back we saw an Anhinga with a large fish speared on its beak and watched the show as he worked to get it off the beak and down the long throat. Amazing. Out of the park we went to the famous “Robert is Here” fruit stand full of exotic fruit and fruit milkshakes. My key lime / strawberry combo was the perfect choice. A few more stops back down the park road and we called it a day except for another round of the game Janet usually wins - predictably again tonight. Someday!!!
The Engaged Cadillac
We were minutes, inches, milliseconds from milk shake heaven and instead we sat for two days in 800 degree heat dodging large angry reptiles. I’ll never understand.
The good news is I have personally discovered a treasure of unusual fruits and the flavor palate is working overtime. Stay tuned.
