Shark Valley


Ashton, Marc and I joined Gram, Papa, Deborah and Tim (a friend of Deborah's) at Shark Valley on Sunday. We often go there to ride our bikes and enjoy the environment while trying not to get eaten by one of the many alligators sunning themselves along the 15 mile bike path.
Above, is a picture taken by Gram of one of our leathery friends.

I forgot to take my camera, thus the lack of more visuals.

We had a great time. Ashton, Marc and I only rode about 3 miles...Ashton couldn't do much more.

About Shark Valley:
The name "Shark Valley" is just to confuse you. There are no sharks and there is no valley.
It has been pointed out to me that there actually are sharks. Not at the Shark Valley section of the Everglades, but at the point that the flowing water (called the Shark River Slough) reaches the Gulf of Mexico. And there actually is a valley. If you travel ten miles east or west, the land elevation is a foot higher.

Shark Valley is a section of Everglades National Park in south Florida, USA.
