THOUSAND SPRINGS PART 1: DOMES AND GATORS

Our dome home for the weekend, situated next door to the alligator pen. A great spot for some R & R. Pajamas, parcheesi and getting to know the neighbors.

THOUSAND SPRINGS PART 2: SWIMMIN'

Swimming in the morning. Swimming in the afternoon. Swimming at night. Nothing beats a dome by the swimming pool and nothing else on the agenda. Except maybe a private bath after swimming.

THOUSAND SPRINGS PART 3: FISHIN'

Get a local fishing tip that leads us to this dock. This is Freya's first time fishing and she is really excited. Emily's an old hand and has plenty of patience and advice.

Freya catches her first trout...and then four more in about an hour. Emily perfects a relaxed style of angling that nets her four trout.

Left while the trout were still biting. Had to be back at the hot springs for alligator feeding time at 3 o'clock. Folks line up for the feeding. Emily and Freya each toss a fish to the alligators. Here a gator enjoys Freya's trout.
