I took full advantage of the things that make Florida...well, Florida. I went scalloping with Jen and Howard. This was purely for research, which was good because we only found 2. But it was fun because you got to just snorkel around in the middle of the bay where the water is between 3-5 feet deep and about 80 degrees. This project was a part of Florida conservation where they go to different parts of the bay to see how the scallops are thriving, or not thriving. Our section was not so thrivy. 
I also went to a BBQ where they served Gator! Yes, the guy in the picture killed this 8 foot gator with a bow, skinned it and served it for dinner. It was breaded and fried, and I thought it tasted kinda like chicken, but Howard said it tasted more like frog. Huh. That would be a hard comparison for me to make... but Howard promises to put that on the menu soon.

Wow Gator. What a great experience!
