Alligators and Ants! Very different in size but under arduous circumstances, rather similar in affect!In a beautiful campground, populated mostly by Quebequois snowbirds, we were parked under a low limbed palm tree.It was a great place for the kids to use their French, but unfortunately, while we were sleeping, an invasion of horrible little sugar ants crawled off the tree and infested our trailer!Alligators and ants on the same day - both creepy and harmless unless poked in the eye! But both give me the royal eebie-geebies up close and personal!
This week we have journeyed down the south west coast of Florida, through Big Cypress, down to the Everglades and are working our way to the most southern spot on the continent - the Florida Keys.Geographically, we are about as opposite from home as we could possibly be.Atmospherically, if everyone in Florida was naked and it rained every afternoon, it would be a fabulous place to live.The temperature is great but the humidity is a little harder to adjust to. However, I don't have the usual dry, static, frizzy, toque hair which is a first for me in winter!
The Everglades was a phenomenal place for photographers.I had both my cameras going, but suffered some serious envy with all the professionals and their colossal zooms and lenses. I did confess my envy however....The Everglades are the bottom of the "solid" continent as we know it, where there is swamp, mangroves, little islands of earth, and more swamp, so there was no cell service or civilisation.Church was just us, and Eli was Reverend for the day - thus my confession.It was a pretty good sermon too, until he took off his hat and asked for our tithes and offerings... at that, church dismissed!
