Well, it's not the warmest of winters in Florida, but day time temperatures in the 60's and 70's are much better than what they have in Maple City these days.
We are really enjoying being outdoors and have been walking and biking a lot everyday. Yesterday we had rain for a good portion of the day, but we still had fun playing cards and dominoes with Rick and Jan in their sprawling fifth-wheel camper!
On Tuesday we enjoyed a canoe tour with our friendly ranger Shauna, and today we listened to her program about pythons in the everglades. Interesting stuff! The pythons are about eighteen inches long when hatched, and reach six feet long by the end of their first year. They start reproducing at the age of four to five years old and lay twenty to forty eggs per nesting. No wonder the amateur snake keepers that buy them for pets get tired of them so quick and release them into the wild. They estimate there are close to a hundred thousand pythons living in Florida now!!
We have done some exploring and there is no public Wi-fi in the park here. I need to wait until we get into town before I can attach any pictures to the blog. Stay tuned.
We do have good phone signal here with our cell phone. If anyone needs to get in touch we get good phone coverage for texts or calls.
Stay warm out there kids!
