We got there late in the day so we were whisked around on the tram. The garden is 83 acres so the tram was a great way to see most of the garden quickly. Another drive-by experience! What was really funny was that the iguanas were mating so there were orange (The males turn orange to get noticed!) iguanas running around everywhere!

The Return of Travel Thursday-Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden!
It is just sooo cold out! I thought you would like to be where it is nice and toasty! A friend and I went to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. It was a beautiful garden. I had last seen it nine years ago and it has matured nicely and has a wonderful gift shop and cafe.

So if you are in the Miami Beach/Coral Gables area, stop by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks Cindy for stopping by. Fairchild is a beautiful place.
Glad Buddy is OK, Kary. Even though we don't have animals I know how much like family they become. Take care of yourself too! You need to be rested in case he gets sick again!
