On the first of SMC Softball's off-days in the Orlando Tournament we nabbed Kate and headed into the swamp - literally. We drove to the southern end of Lake Tohopekaliga at the northern reaches of the Florida Everglades and enjoyed a private 45-minute airboat tour of the edge of the swamp. Gators, Eagles, Buzzards, Herons, Egrets, Ducks, Cattle, Poisonous Snakes ... Very Cool. On the way back, Captain Kirk (yep, our guide's name was Kirk) opened it up and we had a bit of fun on the open water -- airboats are pretty cool vehicles. Great fun!! Naturally, I took some pictures ....If you came in through the travel gallery, the softball tournament images are over at https://pbase.com/donutrun/smcsoftball09 ... Enjoy!
