Everglades Escapades

This red headed lizard is an invasive species down here in the Everglades.

In Florida City they have a vegie/fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Parking is difficult to find. They have all kinds of vegies and fruits including tiny bananas, huge avocados (3X the normal size) and grapefruit as big as a bowling ball. They sell smoothies and ice cream. I had an orange/strawberry smoothie and it was delicious. We had to wait a half hour to get our smoothies though. Inside they had a little petting zoo, exotic birds and animals plus live music.

This is a golden orb spider we found at a nature center in the Everglades.

We went snorkeling at this beach and another beach. The other beach had a sunken ship. I saw a few fish down there but the other beach was very crowded.

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
