Everglades National Park, Homestead, FL:  Really cool this morning.  Didn’t warm up until early afternoon.  Drove down to Flamingo and walked around.  Inquired about the 70-year-old guy who went missing two years ago.  Still absolutely no sign of him, his clothing, body parts, anything.  I think he planned on going missing.  While walking around the marina, we saw the biggest crock I’ve ever seen. This guy was out of the water and sunning himself on a bank. He must have been at least 10 feet long.  Sat on a bench and enjoyed the view of Florida Bay.  It’s been said you could almost walk across Florida Bay to the Florida Keys because it’s so shallow.  Wonder if anyone has ever tried?  Drove back to our quiet, peaceful campground, finished off a bottle of wine and warmed up left-overs for dinner.  83 today.

This huge croc was sunning himself on the bank--Flamingo.  He must have been over 10 feet long.
