Smart Car vs. the Crocs

We went to a gator reserve in Moss Point, Mississippi just about 15 minutes from Biloxi. The guide told us they originally had 250 gators under their protection but after Katrina had done its damage they were left with just 25. We walked through the reserve on a rickety wooden walkway through the gators and onto the air boat. The driver made wild turns and dips to make the ride all the more fun, but in an air boat you don't get any sense of movement other than the wind racing past your face. It was a cool day so the gators were fairly docile and weren't moving too much..which was fine with me!

I've added a picture of my Smart Car that we drove from Niagara Falls, Ontario to Biloxi Mississippi, only because I know how the crocs felt.

Driving that car in the South was like being an attraction at the local zoo. Oh well...we got a lot of funny looks and genuine smiles along the way!
