Nov 22 - 25 - Kissimi,FL (Orlando)






















We checked into Ponderosa RV in Kissimi. We went on the Dragonfly, an Airboat Adventure on Lake Toho with Sean. This was opening day for duck hunting on the lake so lots of camoflage and painted faces. This is the north end of the Everglades and a mesmorizing place. Had hoped to see alligators but only saw one tail. Lots of waterfowl and a bald eagle but no gators !!! The trees are cypress and the little stumps beside them are cypress knees, roots that grow up to absorb oxygen. The gators stash their dead prey under the roots of the water plants - phantom islands.

We went back up to Blue Springs, but once again missed the 6 manatee that were there in the AM.












Spent a full day at Disney's Epcot Center. Really disappointing because of the Thanksgiving crowds. Fast Pass tickets were "sold out" by 11:00 so we couldn't get into many of the main attractions. What we did see was great. We can't believe the stroller/wheel chair over-abundance which tended to clog the traffic flow. To top off the day it rained so we missed the fireworks :( Did however, have a great BBQ rib dinner special at Applebee's.
