Little airboat... our was about 3x this size. |
Checking one more thing off my list... Airboat tour of the Everglades. We spent a 1/2 day at Sawgrass Recreation Park and really enjoyed ourselves. The airboat tour was really cool (that boat MOVES!) and our guide/pilot was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and the wildlife.
We saw 5 alligators, some turtles and a few bird species. I tried to get pictures of all of them without falling overboard or sticking my limbs over the side of the boat. Apparently, the alligators can see the motion from below the water and think it looks like lunch. Mission accomplished: I came home with all arms, legs, fingers and toes firmly attached.
