Our campsite in the Everglades...

Sat, Dec. 8:

Everglades: Our new water pump is doing great. And the solar panels as well. We’re getting a lot of sun and we sure won’t have to use the generator unless we want to. Even though we have no electric, we plug our computer into an inverter and it works like a charm. So, we still can use the computer. Whether or not we can get on the Internet is another story. I did yesterday. But the signal isn’t so great tonight. Forget trying to upload pictures. Walked this morning. Then we went just outside the park to a little restaurant for breakfast. Then checked out a place also just outside the park that offers air boat rides, a snake show and a gator show. Thought this place would be a dump but it was quite pretty. The landscaping was beautiful and exquisitely maintained. A lot of the buildings had thatch roofs—think it is owned by the Micasouke Indians. We’ll go back for the air boat ride. Not sure about the snake and gator show. We see all kinds of wildlife on the Anhinga trail here in the park. After that we came back and kicked back and read for a while. Then we cleaned and washed windows on one side of the camper and loaded some water. After dinner of barbeque pork sandwiches we played Trivial Pursuit (I won) and two games of Rummy (Mike won both)(sigh).
