Travel inspires us to open our minds and hearts to other cultures and ways of living. It destroys narrow-mindedness and prejudice and it changes us. When you need some inspiration, read a travel story. It’s almost as good as being there and hopefully it will inspire you to seek out your own adventures. As Henry Miller said: “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

Alligators are plentiful in this area and you will see wild gators basking in the sun near freshwater rivers, canals and sloughs – either in the water or near the water’s edge.
