Alligators in Homestead

What about Homestead

Riding a Gator in Homestead Florida (not me !)
We visited this part of Florida when we had a hotel in Miami, the temperature was very hot that day. But that made it great to have an airboat ride.

Hurricane ashore..

On August 24, 1992 Homestead was hit by Hurricane Andrew , it came ashore in Homestead after "visiting" the Bahama's. After this the building code was changed to resemble that of that on the Bahama's

 Very funny and accurate tips; I'd never figured how cuddly an alligator could be, but it looked nice...at least, he was smiling ;-)

 I hate alligators, I was scared by one on a path in the woods but didn't notice the chain link fence was between us. Thank God!
