This is the second of a three-part series. You can also read about the first part of our trip to Florida here.
Day 4:
The main activity this day was the Everglades airboat ride. We told some locals about it and they told us “Due to the recent dry spell of weather, the inland waters got too salty for the alligators, so they moved into fresher water. Once we get a good rain, they’ll come back.” Wildlife 2, us 0.
But we bought our tickets and made the drive down anyway, the airboat ride looked fun with or without gators. And it was. Note: you may get sprayed with dirty water when the driver spins the boat, so don’t wear nice white clothes to an airboat tour.
Most of the tour looked like this, going through channels in the mangroves.
