We had 10 a.m. reservations at Everglades City Airboat Tours where we embarked on an exiting cruise through narrow channels of mangrove and taproots. We experienced a view of a dolphin, alligator and turtle. The views were beautiful and scenic.
Stone crab fishing boats
After the airboat ride, we drove to Everglade City to get a snack at City Seafood to eat some fried frog legs, fried gator bites and fried calamari. Really good treats. Stone crab claws are the big thing
down here. Afterwards we ventured to the Naples Pier beach area. Our drive to the area presented us with views of lavish homes in the multimillion dollar range. The beach was what would expect for the Gulf, warm water and gentle waves. Cesare and Michele could of spent the remainder of the day there. While swimming, Cesare conversed with some Italian guys from Chicago and Long Island, NY. Very interesting discussion on the cultural decline of each of our home cities. We left the Naples beach area and headed back to the camper. At the campsite, Cesare and Michele returned to the pool while the kids stayed in the camper. As evening approached we returned to Tin City for some casual shopping and later on on our way back, we stopped for ice cream at the Royal Scoop. Afterwards we return back to the camper to settle in for the night. Tomorrow we head for Kissimmee for the three hour drive to Tropical Palms.
