Quote from skeptical teen: “ I don’t know what I expected, but that was amazing.” We got to hang out with Garl for the day. After the drive to the starting point, we were right into it. Started with the slog. It was really wet and the water was very clear. It was more challenging that we expected, mostly because of the high water. It is usually dry by now, but it has been a wet season. Off to the freshwater kayaking. We saw Croczilla. Learned about the plants and saw an alligator back in the mangroves. Headed to the saltwater kayak hoping for break in the weather. Saw manatees, crocodile, alligators, sawfish (2), spoonbills, lemon shark, and lots of other birds. As a not-fit, mushy adult, I was spent by the end of the day. The teen was fine. We learned a lot in a relaxing environment.
