Big Al and Benny-Bob's American Adventure
Well, after Key West we drove on to the Everglades. The Everglades are really cool...they're just greenery after greenery and swamps! When we drove through, the road just had miles and miles of swamp either side and you could see aligators sunning themselves! We stopped in the Everglades National Park also and took a walk and saw aligators there too. They just sit on the side of the road in the sun. We got about 5 feet away from a big aligator and she started to hiss at us and then we realised why - she had a tiny baby playing in the water next to her! Their claws are really scary and so are their teeth! Being so close and having them just sit there makes you forget what they really are - then when you look at their teeth and claws you remember! We found out just after seeing that aligator that you're not meant to get closer than 15 feet! Live and learn!
After the Everglades we drove and drove, staying the night here and there throughout Florida. Florida is huge! Not as big as Texas though! We also had to drive though Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to get to Texas. They're fun to drive through - very Southern and very religious!
Bye again!
Meeeee and Mr. Ben! :o)
