Hi Everyone!
After several storms during our first week in Big Pine Key, it seemed this morning that we had brought the rain with us. However, despite heavy rain this morning, we were still able to get through everything on our jam-packed agenda (Buddy didn't want us to miss anything!). After a busy morning, our hectic schedule continued into the afternoon as we had many more activities planned for after lunch: bird show, air boat ride, aboriginal tools, a hike and then journaling time!
Upon the completion of the bird show, we made our way over to the dock for our much anticipated air boat trip. The trip did not disappoint us, as we sped around the swamp (in man-made canals) while seeing many alligators, raccoons and even a family of pigs. When we returned we were treated to yet another great show, this time involving Indian tools and weapons.
The tool show was very interesting and a great learning experience, as Hans (Billy Swamp Safari park guide) showed us a multitude of tools and weapons, while explaining their usage and even using one of them to start a fire. Next up on our agenda, and the last activity in the Everglades, was a walk on the boardwalk, a bridged trail through a Cypress Marsh. This ended with a group photograph in front of one of the small chickee huts. After our photograph, we had journaling time, dinner and some down time until lights out at 10:00 pm. Wednesday morning
(by 7:30) we will once again bo
ard the bus to head to Key West before returning to SeaCamp for the second half of our program.
