MILAGRO AND ANGEL VISIT

Maria's aunt Milagro and her husband Angel, visited us last week for a few days.  Maria had their day packed with fun filled adventures....................including a trip on an airboat in the everglades, and a flight with Adriana from Dade Collier airport to Fort Lauderdale Executive airport. The highlight of course, was the flight with Adriana at the controls..........................  Not many people get the opportunity to see the everglades from 2000 feet with an aspiring 17 year old pilot at the controls!  Hope you enjoyed your visit Milagro and Angel!  See you soon!

GATOR ON NEW YEARS EVE

Well, I finished my last trip of the year at 0100 this morning. Maria and I headed back to Hollywood around 1100. As we drove past a small lake next to the hotel, I spotted a small alligator enjoying the warm sunshine. Maria thought it was a log until I tossed a small pebble in the water and the gator headed right for it. I think this little guy was probably around 3-4 feet long (1 meter or so). In the bottom photo, you'll see the little guy in the lake just below the shrubs reflection and between the two trees. Just goes to show you that even in town, you'll see wildlife hanging around. Pretty neat, I must say! Since today is the 31st of December, I'll wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! Thanks for checking out my blog. See you next year!!! karl
