Florida has incredible diversity. While the beach and ocean (or Gulf) beckon, be sure to visit some of the inland treasures.

We took an airboat ride through the Everglades. The 45-minute ride zoomed through the reeds and over the water lilies (and alligators), while we got a tour of just a fraction of the state's protected watery acreage. Naturalist "Wild Lyle" stopped occasionally to tell us about the biology, history, and ecology of the area.

When we started our trip, it was very hot. But soon the clouds came, and we found ourselves in a downpour. Wild Lyle whipped out some ponchos for us, and we continued the trip. The rain fell hard, and flying across the waterway on our airboat exaggerated the effect of the rain. It pelted our faces as we peeked out of our ponchos through slitted eyes.
