Monday, May 14, 2007 Bahia Honda, FL to Naples, Fl



We said good-bye to the Florida Keys and made our way to the Everglades. Because there are so many current fires in FL, we were concerned about highway closures, but it did not turn out to be a problem. The Shark Valley Tram Tour at Everglades National Park was a huge thumbs-up experience. Alligators of all sizes, blue herons, ibises, turtles, anahingas, and cormorants made frequent appearances. As the tour was nearing an end, the clouds opened up…it POURED, complete with thunder and lightning, all the way to Naples. Floridians were cheering because of the serious fires and long-standing drought. (We thought it could have waited until we were safe in our room!). Tonight we are staying at Judy’s wonderful room at the Gulfcoast Inn in Naples.
