Everglade Escapade

I am back from Florida and a visit to the
Everglades. I went to celebrate my daughter's
graduation from PA school in Ft. Lauderdale.
But we squeezed in a quick visit out to the
marshlands as well. This is a small sketch of
the marsh on the way to Everglade City west
of Ft. Lauderdale.

We took an airboat tour with "Speedy Johnson's"
airboat company. Freddy was our guide, and he
took us all through the mangrove swamp and the
marshlands. It was great fun, and very interesting.
The mangrove swamp was really spooky; I will
post some photos of it. All in all, we had a great
time. more tomorrow....
