Swamps! From tea to the swamp all in a week (or so). This week I went to pick up a friend of mine who is touring with Bombay Dreams from Clearwater, he's on a two week layoff. Hmmm, a two week vacation and they've only been out since February, all 1 or 2 week sit downs. Yes, life must be difficult.... Anyway, he had a brilliant idea of going to Billy's Swamp Tours on the way back to Sunrise. I was trying to be nice and said sure, thinking this place is going to be a row boat and a guy with no teeth...But, it was actually a great place run by the Seminole Indians. We took a 30 minute air boat ride around the swamp and saw lots of wild life. I think there's a picture of me on the boat, but I don't have it. The only scary part was actually getting on the boat, once on I felt okay. Until it was time to get off the boat. Oh, and I found out that I have an irrational fear of bridges - not all bridges just the one's that are scary as hell! Like the Clearwater Skyway - it ramps up a few hundred feet (exaggerating) and is really thin with the suspension in the middle. Ugh... I'll look for a picture to post...
