I love knowing you come along with me on my travels, and I also love the information you share with me. Regarding that "monster" you mentioned, Jens, the garden was hosting an exhibit of giant insects made from natural materials, and this was one of them.

I loved it then, although even at that time it was much different than now. I remember snorkeling in the Key, with parrot fish and a scary barracuda, and seeing my first anhinga. I still love it very much, but I wish I had gotten to see the version of your childhood. My family wasn't much for travel so, alas, I didn't.
