What you don't see, is our 5 AM wake up to the low-battery alarm in the trailer. When Scott went out to check on it, there was super thick fog and our phone said 100% humidity! This is camping in a swamp.
Shark Valley was a fun place to visit because you could tour the park by tram ride or bike.
Our new bikes came in super handy when there was no parking available in the park. We were able to park just outside and ride in and enjoy the trail.
We saw so many baby alligators.
Everyone would hop off their bike and be excited about looking at the babies. And every time I would ask, "Where's the mama?"
So thankful to be able to see so many of God's creatures that are unique to this area.
It was about 81° (and super humid) and though we were drinking lots, we were happy to get back to the trailer where we had ice cream in the freezer! Yummy treat after a hot ride.
When we arrived at Gator Park (!!!), our campsite for the next couple nights, we found that our neighbors had 3 fun birds. The two macaws are from Panama and the cockatoo was from Australia. This couple travels with the birds in their motorhome as the man is on tour playing guitar and singing. They are headed to the Keys tomorrow for some shows and gave us lots of tips for our time down there. They were fun to chat with as they have just become RV full timers; they were formerly full timers on a boat. They offered to project a movie on the side of their motorhome for everyone to watch in the evening, but there was a change of plans once the mosquitoes came out!
