The Everglades

I took an air boat ride and tour of the Everglades and became friendly with a couple of alligators. The tour guide informed us that they are the operation that CSI: Miami uses when shooting in the Everglades (ooooh, maybe David Caruso sat where I sat -- better yet the Cuban scuba diving hottie!!!).

The technique that the tour guides use for attracting wild life is to thrown marshmallows to the animals (not the alligators). Yes, they've turned birds and turtles into sugar addicts!!!
