Spending the next couple days in the Everglades, the real meat of the trip. It's a wild, sprawling, eclectic place where the ecosystems change drastically depending on an elevation of inches. There's pine forests, cypress groves, grasslands, swamp, lakes, rivers, and chock full of wildlife. Truly spectacular. There are some hiking trails but not a ton as even in the dry season its a wet place. But there are a couple which we did and a fair amount of short boardwalks. The sounds here are incredible, lapping dripping water, wind in the mangroves and grass, tons of bird calls, the squelching sucking mud. Beautiful.
