We only stays a day and two night on Duck Key before we headed northwest to Ft. Myers thru the Everglades. I had never been in the Everglades but my interest had been piqued by the book I'm reading, A Land Remembered, a historical fiction about Florida. Great book - I highly recommend it. We opted not to drive on I75 aka Alligator Alley but took a more scenic route. We went on a very remote road called Loop Road. We just stopped along the way to watch and enjoy the sites. Over the next few days, I'll share some of those sites here.
I love seeing things that surprise me. And this one really did. The Cypress trees were full of bromeliads. Not just a few, but hundreds. I read that orchids also grow in the swamps there but I didn't see any this time. My drive through the Everglades was truly beautiful.
Til Tomorrow, Tweetles,
