Wow! That must have been a great trip.
Way back when in South Florida I had a job where my morning walk-through included looking in canals to find alligators so we could get animal control called. When they are in the canal - no trouble. If they come up to the parking lot - watch out!
I have my hostel for steemfest booked but will keep looking. It's cheap, well rated and a straight shot on a 30 minute bus to the site. But I might be able to do better.
I saw you slam through on my comments. I really appreciate this so much, @majes.tytyty. I keep swimming here ,but holy cow...
Keep swimming, and stay afloat!! Hopefully, the tide will soon turn, and we'll be able to drift a bit easier, gently and peacefully, down the river.
