Below: At first the two RV Gypsies thought this was just part of a leaf in the canoe, until it moved. Guess it is a Leaf Bug. It was actually alive and moving - with no head!

Below: The big splash in the photo below was a guy landing in water after jumping off a rope swing hung on a nearby tree.  Nothing like being in the cold water, and not fearing the alligators and snakes.
