Exploring the river of grass

The nice thing about the rain is that it keeps other tourists away. Through most of the Everglades, my husband and I had the trails and boardwalks to ourselves. It was a warm, misty rain that left sparkling drops on the sawgrass. After a couple of hours of walking through lush vegetation, tromping over boardwalks to look down at the alligators in the canals, and walking through endless sawgrass, my sneakers were soaking wet and my hair was curly.
