She had an enclosed patio and and a pool that was not enclosed. I went outside one morning with my coffee and went by the pool and sat down. A few minutes in I spotted a movement out of the corner of my eye and it was an alligator that came out of a canal that ran through her neighborhood back yard. I don’t think I ever moved so fast in my life to get back into that enclosed patio. The rest of the time we were there I never went outside the enclosed patio.

My sister in law hated it there and couldn’t wait to leave Florida.
