Had a wonderful day in the Everglades @ Shark Valley. Have wanted to go there for years and finally made it there. We had perfect weather. Got there early and took a 2 hr. tram ride stopping at the observation deck in the middle of the tour. We saw lots of wildlife.

After the tram ride we did some hiking down some paths and had to pass a big ol' gator. Tried to come back the same way but it looked like he moved closer to the path and we didn't want to tempt fate twice.

I was sad to leave the place. I will plan to go again soon.
