For now - swamp canoe.
On Friday afternoon (over a week ago), Dad and I went for a canoe ride in Faver-Dykes State Park. You're able to rent canoes there and then peruse the Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve or the headwaters of Pellicer Creek. We chose the headwaters direction since it would require us to paddle against the tide in the beginning and then have a smooth and easy paddle back to the dock. On my next trip, I am definitely going to check out the Aquatic Preserve.
Anyway, 4 miles of paddling brought us to the swamp, which was pretty rad. calm murky waters, beautiful palm trees, cedars, oaks and cypress trees. We encountered a fish that was gigantic, some cool birds and an alligator that i swear tried to swamp our canoe.
My trip to Florida was pretty amazing this time around. It's always a good time, but we really explored a lot of the more natural places of Florida, which actually was not that difficult to find.
Enjoy the pictures.
