Viewing your T13 reminded me of when I used to get Safari cards (remember those?) in the mail as a kid. #13 on your list cracked me up.

Great list! I think #1 would scare me the most. Then again, 13 is kind of scary too!
Have a great Thursday!

ROFL love the tourist!

The flamingos are gorgeous. You know, being a born-and-bred northern gal, I never knew flamingos were real birds. I thought they were just a type of lawn ornament... til I went to Florida on my honeymoon and saw a real one for the first time. *G*

Ah well you live and learn, right? ;o)

Interesting 13. Mine is Eat, Drink and be Merry - 13 Last Words, Excerpt: Judaism instructs us to enjoy the simple gifts that God gives in the present world. Eat, drink and be merry. Enjoy this life, on this Earth, in this time. I have collected for your enjoyment the last words of some of our more famous fellow human beings involving food or drink before they died.

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the animals. Yeah, the flamingos are gorgeous. So are the egrets if you see them in person. I've never seen a manatee in the wild. The alligators give me nightmares.
