Alligator Alley


During our vacation, we drove through the Florida Everglades (approx. 78 miles) on Interstate 75 a.k.a Alligator Alley between Naples and Ft. Lauderdale. Among the sawgrass marshes and trees, were hundreds of egrets. And yes, alligators too! Alligators really do live in the waterway beside the road, so the nickname has literal meaning. MacDaddy saw one alligator and was so excited. He saw and counted dozens of HUGE alligators in the water and sunning themselves along side the canal. He also pointed out that they didn't look green, but rather black in color.
