The River of Grass

November 12, 2007

The end of the year is nearing and I started to feel like going over my “Before you die” list. It’s nothing exceptionally impressive but I find it helpful when I lose direction and need a little bit of motivation.

As I looked over the list I realized that I had never ridden in an Airboat.

Living in Miami, it would be a crime to never do that!

It is also a crime to never learn how to swim in a state that is practically an island, oh, and also to never have learned how to ride a bike … which are two more crimes I am guilty of! hehe

It would be the likes of living in Venice and never riding a Gondola.

So off we went, one Sunday afternoon in pursuit of Margery Stonemen Douglas’ River of Grass.

I gingerly cradled my camera in one hand one tossed the keys to my partner in crime for the day and hoped in the FJ for a ride.
