Society of American Florists fall meetings and convention kicks off this week at The Breakers in Palm Beach, FL. Erlene arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday evening in advance of the festivities to stay with friends for a day and a half.

We all went to Sawgrass Recreation Park in a protected part the Everglades near Alligator Alley for an airboat road hoping to see some of these amazing creatures. We were not disappointed! In addition to the three alligators, we saw fish, vultures and other birds and learned a lot about alligators and the delicate balance of the ecosystem in the Everglades from Captain Tim.

Our new found friend showed off for us for several minutes! Captain Tim estimated him to be about 13' long and about 30 years old.

 

What fun!
