Aaron had a few more days off of work and we had a clear schedule so we drove to Fort Lauderdale and stayed the night in a hotel. The next morning we drove another hour to Everglades National Park. We only saw a small portion of this huge park but it was nice for us to be outside, enjoying the wonderful weather and seeing the wildlife. We rented bikes and rode the 15 mile loop around Shark Valley which was this part of the park.

| it was a bit nerve wracking to have this photo taken because the alligator behind us was facing us. |
 |
| That afternoon we drove through the hotsy totsy town of Naples. |

 |
| We drove north to Punta Gorda and stayed in a hotel. We walked across the street and found and excellent Italian restaurant. |
 |
| The next morning we drove to Sarasota and spent a little time relaxing on Lido Key. |
 |
| That afternoon we had made arrangements for a kayak tour through the mangroves. |
 |
| our tour guide made a friend |

| That night I was looking forward to eating at this Amish restaurant. My review is that the one in Ohio is better. We came home the next day. Aaron had been fighting a bad cold and so we needed to get him home to rest. Plus, it is always nice to be home! |
