More photos from Florida
Aug. 25th, 2008 02:12 pmYes! We did get a picture of the golfing gators.
Or, at least the sign for them.

The person with the stick out front is no doubt getting ready to wrestle the gators.
(You know, I’m very tempted to add something about the “parking in rear” in regards to alligator wrestling, but come on, I was there for a family event.)
This is the view from my cousin’s condo. It’s stitched together out of 4 smaller photos.

This is the traffic getting to the airport. For about 9 miles it was moving at 12 miles per hour.

There are no highway exits in the 11 miles between exit 11 and 11a, so once we got caught, there wasn’t anything we could do but creep through it.
I’m glad we left three hours for a 40 mile drive. As it was I was pretty wound up about it.
These are the awful dumplings I had. I’ve had a lot of dumplings in a lot of places. These were the worst ever. (The best, just in case you’re wondering, were from a street vendor on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.)

My wife liked them. But, we have very different taste. She says they have a lot of ginger. I’ve never been fond of ginger. (Say it! Say it!)
I will point out that the place that makes them won’t finish their website, probably to avoid getting the email I was going to write them about $9 dumplings that taste awful.
