Everglades National Park & Biscayne National Park
During our stay in
Miami, we took three trips to the Everglades National Park (including two bike
rides at the Shark Valley Visitors Center), and one trip to Biscayne National
Park. The most striking thing about our visits were the many varieties of birds
we encountered, including egrets, herons, wood storks, anhinga, limpkin,
pelican, and vultures, and the plethora of alligators, sometimes so close to
where we were walking or riding our bikes, we could nearly reach out and touch
them. We were even lucky enough to see two separate nests filled with baby alligators. During one visit to the Everglades National Park, we saw an American
Crocodile, which looked quite prehistoric. We also saw lots of turtles who seemed to thrive in the Florida swampland.

Miami, Florida
After leaving Punta
Gorda, we drove 180 miles southeast to Miami, where we would be from February-April,
2019. It was nice to be settled in for a longer stretch. In addition to taking
the opportunity to thoroughly explore the area, we had two specific goals here –
visiting our final Major League Baseball Park, and taking a vegan cruise out of
the Bahamas. During our three month stay we also visited the Everglades and
Biscayne National Parks; took an airboat ride; explored downtown Miami a few
times; joined the Miami Pride festivities one weekend in South Beach; took a 3-day
trip down to Key West; rode our bikes; snorkeled; toured the Fairchild Tropical
Botanical Gardens; walked through the murals of Wynnwood Walls. We also spent time
enjoying our surroundings in the RV Park, just living life, and taking care of
business and chores.
