Bill and Jan joined Bill and Kline Reed for a week in Marco Island Florida. Our heart-rates dropped significantly during the vacation (don't ask about our waist lines.)
We took an air boat ride into the Everglades, followed by a trip by a "safari" ride to see more wildlife.
Wildlife?
Nah, just looking for a handout. The bus drivers usually carried treats to make sure guests got to see a few hogs. Today they were out of treats, so there was lots of grumbling among the hogs.
Rats. Maybe tomorrow.
Our favorite -- a mother and baby Manatee
Do I spy breakfast?
Fortunately he was on the other side of the canal from us.
Keepin' cool
An airboat like the one we traveled on.
Our "safari" vehicle. We were the only guests on our tour, so we were able to linger & watch the wildlife a bit more than with the usual tour, and get more information from our driver.
A street concert in March Island. This was a regular affair in the spring before the snow-birds headed north. The band consisted of very talented retired folk who maintained their musical skills through the performances.
