Trip to Miami - Part II

On Friday we drove thru South beach. It was a beautiful area but I think a little over rated. I guess I am just not into the whole "Jennifer Lopez Scene". We did not get to walk along the beach there as it was raining and very windy.

After South beach we headed over to the extremely opposite end of the spectrum. We went to "The Everglades" and hopped on an air boat. This is something that Timmy & I have both always wanted to do and was it worth it. I really enjoyed the ride, the Everglades are beautiful. I really had not expected that for some reason.

After the boat ride the park had a safari park attached. There were alligators in this fenced area and this guy got in there and walked around talking about them and feeding them. Now keep in mind that he told us he had gotten bitten 3 times by two different gators in that pit. Call him crazy, I did.

After that Timmy & I took this "adventure walk" through the everglades. At the park they have built this wooded walkway about 4 inches above the water and you can walk out and explore a little bit of the Everglades. Yes I did say 4 inches! As we are walking along Timmy spots a friend right beside the walkway. It was an alligator and nothing stopping it from attaching us if it wanted to. Talk about facing your fears! At that point, I was completely out of my mind with fear and called the "adventure walk" done. Here are some pictures from the day. And yes I have included one of Timmy's friend.

Yes this picture is of Timmy's friend.
