So, like, what IS an ever glade? I mean, Dad calls it “the” Everglades. Whatever. I just know it sounds kinda scary to me. Never been there before. But I guess I’m going today. Gulp.
Did you know they have alligators there? Alligators. Like, with big teeth that chomp down on birds and small dogs. Hey, I don’t know much about this place. Except that there is no other one like it anywhere. It’s the only “Everglades” on this planet. So I guess that makes it kinda awesome, right? Even if I am risking a close encounter with a huge gator or something. I’ll let you know how it goes, ok? This will be my first story online – my first blog. I’ll write about my trip to the Everglades. Look for a new chapter every Friday, right here on this website. I’m gonna tell you about all my great adventures around South Florida each week.
Oh, but I guess first maybe I should tell you who I am, right? If we’re going to be friends and everything. I mean, you ARE reading this blog and I hope you’ll want to read it every week. My name is Isabella. Nice to meet you! And this is my best friend, Juliette. She says hi too. I just moved to Fort Lauderdale with my parents a couple weeks ago. Juliette lives next door but she’s never been to the Everglades either. We’re both first-timers, so to speak …
I have to admit that I kinda like Fort Lauderdale. So far! I’m not making any snap decisions about this or anything yet. But the weather is great most of the time, from what I see. Here it is -- early April. And I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt to this Everglades place. At home, I’d still be wearing a ski parka and mittens and snow boots, shivering like mad any time I stepped outside. Here, it’s different. That’s what I like.
But this “Everglades” thing? Hmm. Still not too sure about this. All I know is it’s huge and wet, with lots of beautiful birds and animals. And alligators! Gulp again. We’re riding today in something they call an “airboat,” though honestly I have no idea what that’s all about either. Stay tuned, my friends, stay tuned, ok? If I don’t fall out of this “airboat” or get scared out of my wits by a big gator, I’ll tell you all about it next Friday. Wish me luck! And Juliette too! I’m afraid we may need all the luck we can get!

Maybe the Everglades are too scary!
