May The Airstream Gods Forgive Me

Yesterday was a beach day for us. Once again we went to Merritt Island national park. The surf was roaring and the under tow was a bit overwhelming to say the least.


I took these shots whil walking the beach and when we went to sun and swim I left the camera in the car. I regretted doing that as some of the wildlife took a reall shine to us while sitting on the beach. First it was a little bird with only one foot, it decided to befriend us and came right up to us loking for a handout. A couple of hours later a possum came out of the dunes and walked all around us searching for something to eat. He must have been very used to people being around as he didn't seem to mind us being there at all.
On the way home we went to the spot where you are most likely to see some gators and sure enough they were there. It's hard to see how big they are in the pictures and there is nothing to get a scale of perspective from but these guys were between 8 and 10 feet long. I was quite glad they were feeling lazy form the heat and didn't think of us as lunch.

Re: the possum: As a general rule, if you see a possum out in the open in the daytime in mild weather, there's something wrong with it, unless it's just been scared out of the den or something.

Glad to see you are enjoying your time in the sun! I bet you can hardly wait to get back home right? I am happy that you have had some time to enjoy some warmer weather and some unique events. Bring some alligator meat and an AS back on your way up north....
