Gators and Glades

I have bit more time to post now, so I thought I would bring you up to date on our adventures of yesterday, traveling from St. Petersburg to Key Largo.  I would give you some photos of the scenery but it was one of two things, either a commercial zone that could have been plucked from any city in America, or it was mangroves and grass.  You already know what the commercial zone looks like, CVS across the street from a Walgreens, a supermarket next to that, a gas station, some fast food joints and then stir and repeat.  Here, then, is the part that is the Everglades.
Miles and miles and miles of it.

Fortunately, about halfway through it, we found Wooten's Airboat Rides and Gator Show.  We skipped the kiss a gator and hug a gator opportunities, but we did see a particularly happy gator while waiting for our airboat ride.

Forty minutes later we had mud splatters and wind blown hair, but we thoroughly enjoyed our ride with Capt. Robbie through the glades.
