Fort Lauderdale Day 3

We got off to a late start. The weather was partly cloudy and around 70°. We headed out to the Everglades National Park to see alligators. It took us about an hour to get there, and then we had to wait in line for another hour in order to enter the park. We had a quick bite to eat, and then took our walk. Fortunately, the weather was absolutely perfect for walking, but not so great for the wildlife. Because of the recent rain and cool weather, the animals were not abundant.  But we had a pleasant walk and saw a few alligators and some beautiful birds.










After returning home, we spent time re-organizing all of our suitcases with our purchases.  In addition to what we purchased for personal use, we also had two boxes of bridge supplies.  I brought a huge duffel bag from home that we used to stuff with soft clothes in order to make room for all the supplies we purchased, plus the Bridge supplies. I think our bags probably weigh close to 80 pounds now. Thank goodness the ship doesn’t weigh them.
