Peaceful, quiet, didn't see or hear very much wildlife though. Alligators float with their heads barely visible and stay still... Beautiful landscape, very quiet...

I volunteered there because my grandmother, my father's mother, lived there for 7 years, and since my return to Toledo in 2002 (from the Cambridge, Mass. area) visited her rather regularly with my father until her passing in 2005. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4508982366662666295-7022932017990239239?l=dfinelog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>David Finehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15793957717636606451noreply@blogger.com0
