   My wife and i visited today, March 30 and the everglades was more than i expected. The park was almost completely empty, it was really terrific. The rangers were very helpful and gave us great suggestions. The Anhinga Trail loop was possibly the best part. The ranger told us that it is like an aquarium and he was spot on. We could see over a dozen fish at a time in some spots, as well as herons, a turtle and 4 gators. This hike as well as pine lands, Pay-hay-okee overlook, mahogany hammock and west lake are all short trails that are less than 1/2 mile. All offer diverse ecosystems and different features. The flamingo visitor center appears to just be temporary as a new structure is being worked on. At the nearby marina we saw manatees popping up now and then. We were told that between May and the fall the mosquitoes are vicious. Sorry i cannot speak much for the northern end of the park. We made the most of our one day here! See more..

   The Florida Pioneer Museum in Florida City, near Homestead, Florida is a treasure trove of early 20th century artifacts, household goods, farm tools, railroad memorabilia and much more... staged in a pioneer home build for the local stationmaster by the FEC railroad more than a century ago. They're open much of the year on Wednesday and Saturday, staffed by enthusiastic volunteers who grew up in the area, most from pioneer families. Their web site is a wonderful resource for information about the museum, as well as articles about pioneer families and prominent citizens that contributed much to the area in their lifetimes.
