I’ve been busy getting situated in Florida. It’s a great place, it has been warm and sunny almost every day since I’ve arrived.
I saw my first alligator today. The ponds and lakes here have signs saying that you shouldn’t swim because there is a danger of them, but I was really starting to doubt it. The one I saw this morning was about a foot and a half long, he was sunning himself on the bank of a drainage ditch on the side of the road.
Two animals I was expecting to see a lot of were Iguanas and Flamingos, but I’ve never seen either of them. Apparently I’m right at the northernmost edge of where both of those are in the state. It’s good that Iguanas aren’t here though because they eat bird’s eggs and even bird chicks.
There are a lot of other interesting birds however, some of them being as tall as Flamingos such as many types of Herons and Storks, along with all of the other sea birds such as Pelicans. There are also a lot of birds of prey like hawks, where sometimes I see them flying overhead carrying a huge fish that they grabbed out of the water.
Lately I’ve been making my own food rather than eating in restaurants, but today I made an exception and went to a great Indian restaurant. I’m getting back into the routine of making raw food as well as other types of food that I like such as Mexican food and vegetarian Sushi.
I’m keeping busy with things, I hope all is well..
