day 3: Everglades National Park and Bill's cool fish bungalow out in Homestead

... and just then, as we pulled in to Bill's little lot, David Ryan called from Santa Cruz. This was after a sweltering hot day canoeing the glades, getting Laurent's glasses stolen by a Republican from VT (but we followed his van and got them back, ha!), being eaten by mosquitoes, a few thunderstorms, and a kickbum rainbow...

Bill gave us the biggest avocado I'd seen since Cuba. Sprinkled it with salt, pepper, lime and garlic. Yum. The sunset pics are from his garden...

our jet lag got a bit better and Keith's heat/humidity resistance too. Laurent does not mind the heat so much.
