Saturday, January 19: Florida City- Everglades, Royal Palm Trail

Our forwarded address for the next month

 It is hard to believe we have been on the road for sixteen days now. Weather has been favorable for us, except for a few drizzly days of rain.

Everglades morning glory

We are enjoying every day and feel quite blessed to be at this point of our lives where we are able to enjoy these days and this country we live in.

Today we traveled to Everglades National Park and again were amazed at the number of alligators just lazing wherever they want to.


The alligators slumber during the day on the banks of the saw grass marshes and seem to be unimpressed that we humans are ooohhing and aawwwing at their size and boldness.

Of course, every one respects their space, as they seem to respect ours.  These monsters seem patient while we click our cameras and phones as they silently pose.

Little Blue Heron fishing

In the Everglades we also have been treated to many beautiful and unusual birds and flowers.  Driving to the Everglades we passed many crop farms, with corn earred out and  summer squash blooming. Acres and acres of tomatoes being harvested by hand.

Our mini-rv club down here met for dinner nearby the campground at Captain's Restaurant. Fresh fish, and good company.
