Manatees and alligators

We have been spoiled with yet another extraordinary day! It started before dawn, heading out to the springs outside Crystal River to play with the manatees. These gentile giants are the epitome of cuddly. So adorable.
Then we drove 500 km south to Everglades City, attended an alligator feeding session and enjoyed an airboat tour through the mangroves, with wild alligators both here and there. To top it off we had a delicious dinner with fish, shellfish and, yes, alligator.
I must admit I am somewhat tired after such a day, but hey, i will remember it for many many days to come :-).
