Glamping in the Everglades

Everglades National Park is in the south of Florida near Miami. It is one of the biggest parks in the U.S. People visit the park to see alligators, manatees, and birds. I decided to stay in a tent near the water so that I could watch the birds in the morning. It wasn’t real camping. It was glamping, glamorous camping. I had a tent with a bed and chairs, and I could look outside and see the water. When it got light on Monday morning, hundreds of birds such as white egrets and blue herons flew to nearby trees. I watched as an osprey landed on the ground and picked up dry grass for its nest. It was a birdwatcher’s dream come true. (123 words)
