(Ewwww!)

No snakes either. So aside from the possible broken ankle or leg…it was perfectly safe!

Weren’t you afriad of the gators and whatnot? [I would be SO afraid of em!]

I watched the episode of Man Vs Wild on the mangroves–it sure looked beautiful, but so difficult to traverse!

Thanks for the details, Bish!

There are also mangrove swamps which are a bit different from the kind you describe. There are lots and lots of roots from the mangrove trees and lots and lots of crabs. There is, along with that rotten egg smell, the slurp and burble of ocean water as it slips and slides through the tangle of roots.

As a kid my best friend and I played wonderful imaginary games in the mangroves. A perfect setting for high adventure against evil beings.
