We blew a fuse on the bus, which stopped the satellite feed of the tour commentary. Eventually we got it fixed, but not before they started offering us complimentary stuff!!!!
Four of us went to Safari Park in the Everglades. We got a free lunch due to the screw ups and while we were talking I found out my companions are writers for CSI Miami. Since it is shot in LA and they had never been here, the studio sent them out to have an 'experience' to ensure they are writing 'true' to the Miami spirit - so if an episode appears next season in the Florida Everglades, it was hatched while I was with them. Two of my companions tried the fried alligator tail, which tastes just like...you guessed it...chicken! (These are not my lunch companions - just some nice folks I met).
The air boat ride was really cool and is just like you see in the movies where the bad guys are chasing the good guys through the Everglades.
We say gators, birds, and turtles. Here is me putting my hand in the water - I was scared!
(Later gator...)I was three feet from a gator in the water - I easily could have leaned over and let him nibble on my arm.
They have other animals that you can see during the wildlife show:
Dragonfly:
Baby bird walking on a lily pad:
Scorpion (not fatal unless you are allergic to the venom)(that's not my hand):
Gator wrestling with Norman (he's the croc - I forget what the guy's name is):
Larry and me:
On the tour through the city we saw:
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective's apartment:
The place Muhammad Ali (as Cassius Clay) fought his first fight - against Sonny Liston:
Holocaust Memorial:
Miami Ink:
The mansion from Scarface:
A self portrait (I'm the one on the right):
This guy was sitting at a stop light and repeatedly kissing the rosary hanging from his rearview mirror - honestly, I didn't think the traffic was that bad!
Here's me in Little Havanna:
