Critter Passion

This guy is either just too ignorant and foolish or he may be the next Steve Irwin.
During our stay in Miami we visited the Alligator farm near the Everglades National park.

One of the shows was about snakes. The lady did her part and then asked for a volunteer. Nishanth who had been talking to her and asking questions quickly jumped at the opportunity.

She started by asking his name followed by where are you from, to which he said "I'am from America".

To gauge his reaction she just handed him a bag with a snake and took a seat with the audience. With a twinkle in his eye he simply slipped his hands into the bag and pulled out the snake which then proceeded to crawl around him and at one point even tied his hands together.

I was watching all this tense and he handled it with a flair that looked like he has been doing it for a long time. The entire audience and the show host were surprised at his cool composure.

Besides that, some of the other things we did at the farm was to take a air boat ride into the everglades, fed some Alligators and watch wildlife all round the place. Picture above: Wild Alligator coming towards our Air boar and one lurking dangerously close near the walkway. The park folks quickly prodded this one and it went back into the wild.

While in Miami we rented a house and made some trips to the beaches.
After all the rich food at the ship we were all craving for some simple Dal and rice and so the two evenings we cooked and had a good time at the apartment.
