March 3rd week

We attended a seafood festival at Placida, fresh alligator tails were on the menu.

 Softshell blue crab, deep fried whole, shell and all, on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and sauce.

 Alligator bites, hush puppies, and fries.  Everything is fried!  Don't like grease...too bad!!

                                          Hibiscus as big as a small dinner plate, beautiful.

 Some things stay the same wherever you go,  :)  over the door at Bass Pro Shop, Fort Myers.

 Back home, the door handles would be elk horns or such....here it is brass alligators.
