The aligator looked like a guy from shul

I did the tourist stuff today and went to Everglades.  This was 'touristico' to the extreme.  The whole airboat  thing took the same time as a disney ride and was just as authentic an experience.  Sure we saw a few aligators with their heads peering out from the water and a dozen nice birds but it was hardly the Amazon.  After a 25 minute boat ride where you could sense the motorway 300 yards to your left we were herded into a mini theatre to see a 'professioonal' wrestle with Larry the aligator.  "This is Larry" announces the big black professional  reptile wrestler. "Larry is an aligator - or a 'gator' as we call them in these parts'.  "Now don't do this at home" he says as he proceeds to stick his head into Larry's open mouth.  Larry was safely yawning after doing his schtick for the 100th time this month, no one dies except the audience.

Back to Miami for a great steak - I didnt ask if it was kosher but it was very tasty.
