Day 8 - The Gator Whisperer

After waking up quite late Brian took me out to Gatorland, where he used to work as an alligator wrestler. He was a wealth (a virtual cornucopia) of interesting information about reptiles, the Florida ecosystems, and the park itself - it was a fascinating trip. I never thought I'd have the capacity to learn so much in the condition I found myself in this morning.

Possibly the coolest moment of the trip was when Brian summoned about 10 alligators over to the bridge we were standing on by making a clucking noise - apparently despite their small brains they have been trained to eat.

Now we're just chilling at the apartment playing GTA, resting up for tonight's final outing before I head home tomorrow.
