During my stay in Florida I got to see some of the wildlife. None of these were at any show or zoo. These were all in the wild.

My flight to Florida took a whole day. I left my parents place by car at 10 am and got to Florida just before 10 pm in the night. For some reason I had three flights spread out through the day. It was cheap though so I guess you get what you pay for.

Monday morning we all got up before sunrise at watched a beautiful sunrise at 6:34 am. It was very pretty and full of colors. There were a few clouds in the sky which made it more amazing.

Later in the morning some dolphins were playing around just off the beach and we got to watch them. I caught some on video. What a blessing to be able to watch from the balcony of the condo we were staying in.

My Aunt and Uncle took me out to the wilderness to see some alligators. This was a bit scary and dangerous because we could see alligator tracks all over the place but only saw a couple of the animals watching us. The brush was a bit dense so we could not see them all.

I did not get video of this but the little pond was crystal clear and full of guppies. I could not believe it. They were so pretty there.

We also got a chance to see some Manatees playing and eating some low laying leaves on the trees at the edge of the water. We had actually been looking for alligators but got an entirely different show. It was pretty cool.

We later went on a drive through park tour where you stay in the car for safety due to the alligators and drive through some swamps and wetlands. There were all sorts of birds, fish and creatures there.

At one point we got out of the car where they had a walkway out over the water and we saw thousands of fiddler crabs all over the place underneath us. I cant believe how many there were.

At the end of our park drive we finally saw an alligator sitting in a small creek and watching us. He was just a baby and my relatives warned me to make it fast and get back in the car because mother may be near by and not very friendly.

It was good weather during my stay in Florida with sunny skies and mid to high 80s.

I of course drove the car the whole time so I could get used to it for the big drive to come when we head back to Michigan.
