Just a walk

Now Iggy here was the only Iguana that was brave enough to pose for me









This tree is right out of the movies where snakes come and gobble you up...believe me I was looking








The Manatee in the Bay











Well now we see so many alligators it isn't so exciting

Just another week

Exercise room













The Rec Hall decorated for Ladies Tea...I didn't go, no beer here












Wally the Walmart alligator











He finally shows himself...a Barn Owl, when we first arrived I noticed the evidence below the tree. Knowing an owl was living up above everyday I checked well today he showed himself.

Rod wrestling his first alligator

The warm water brought in the Manatees











Never follow Al Hughes, he led us down a path which started out as a marked trail and ending on what looked like a gator trail....








He finally wrestled one....











Checking out some of the vehicles at the Fleamasters Flea Market in Fort Myers.

Burning of sugar cane

Rod making friends...his name is Gator









My lucky star or planet whatever....











Lake Okeechobee














Channels that surround cane fields and orange groves














Burning of sugar cane...then it's out in a matter of minutes

Trip to the Cane Festival

Armidillo time...Rod chased him under a bridge then took the picture.




























Sitting with my friends from the Glades RV Park, enjoying the music and the cloggers.














Then they boil it's just like maple syrup














Pressing the cane into a juice






Rod is so happy about his golfbag/chair carrier...although it does look silly he got soooo many compliments on it at the festival....I just giggled because I'm thinking he got this good idea from whacking his head so hard on the motor home the other day.
