We broke camp on Pine Island and headed for Ft Myers. We stopped at a McDonald’s long enough to use their Wi-Fi to replenish our eBook library then went to Mass at Blessed Pope John XXIII Church. Wow! It may be the biggest church we’ve been in. After that we stopped briefly at a RV Show and found ourselves telling people about the teardrop and T@B campers. Honest, we don’t work for Little Guy International, we just like their campers!  Then we headed south on I-75 and west through the ‘glades on Alligator Alley into Everglades National Park. We set up camp at Long Pine Key Campground and then did the ranger led night walk on the Ahinga Trail. At one point we saw at least twenty alligator eyes in the beam of our flashlight. One ‘gator who was at least nine feet long and according to the ranger at least twenty years old swam right up to us and then under us on the boardwalk. Incredible experience!
