Today was a loooong day. We woke up at 10:30 (very early for us, about 2-3 hours early for us) and played 9 holes of golf with Matt's parents. My shots were quite hilarious (to me). I had many swing-anna-miss's. Eventually I got the hang of it after not having played for a year and got a few solid whacks in. At the last whole, Matt's dad lent me his King Cobra driver. The hole was parallel to the road and I managed to hit it REALLY hard and low.. it looked straight for a while, but then the ball curved nicely over the bushes into the road. I couldn't stop laughing hysterically - his parents probably thought I was crazy. Fortunately we didn't hear any loud braking or windshields cracking.

Afterwards we went to the Sawgrass Recreation Park for a nice little airboat tour. Matt's dad got totally into it and hurried so we could sit in the front row of the boat. It was great for about 30 seconds then the captain of the boat accelerated in to the wind and we got SOAKED!! We sped into the everglades full speed and I was trying not to shiver.. I was drenched from head to toe and clinging onto Matt's arm for warmth. The rest of the ride was pretty cool after we dried off a bit. The captain was pretty amazing - he'd be able to spot a gator hundreds of feet away and he'd take the boat within a few feet of it. We saw two today, but the guide told us normally there are about 350,000 gators living out in the section of everglades we toured today.
