in Sarasota,
Florida with alligators
Myakka River State Park and
took an airboat ride to see Alligators
May 24, 2011
(They have seen many alligators when they lived in Florida (their son Brian Duquette even had an alligator in his pool when he lived in Orlando, Florida)
The two RV Gypsies' prepared
for their airboat ride among the alligators. As professional travelers,
(and previous long-term residents of the southern part of Florida) they
have taken airboat rides among alligators many times in different places,
but the two RV Gypsies still like photographing the alligators, even though
it is no longer a new experience for them.

is unique among America's freshwater lakes.

two alligators seen from the airboat - some of them were hard to see among
the lily pads, so Karen Duquette put labels on the photos.

dock to tie up the airboat meant a slight slam into the docking pole.
