gators, bug bites, awkward tans lines and a canceled flight
response to Patrick James's post How I Spent My Winter Vacation
When i came home from my winter vacation, or more likely trip, i was so excited to see this mini GOOD project.
So here's my story
Interested in the environement, i took a three class course fall semester at Stonehill College that focused on the alarming devestaton of the everglades. I took both envirnmental ethics and environemental science class during the fall and from january 3rd to january 13th i particpated in my third seminar class but camping for 10 nights in the everglades. Let me tell you it was an interesting time camping with 23 other classmates, 2 professors, 2 administrators, one TA and one photographer. Although we were in florida, our first night was freezing! thank god i bought a sleeping bag that is good for 0 degrees celsius.
Our first real day there was a challenge; a fifteen mile bike ride through shark valley in big cyprus national park. I was up to the challenge of course, but i was slightly afraid of the dozens of alligators right next to us on the side of the road.
Our adventures didn't stop there, we canoed through the tangle of mangrove swamps during a rainstorm, in metal boats no less. We stomped our way through the calf high mud and the thigh high water of the everglades forests, all the while looking out for alligator holes and great blue herons.
