Day 34

Today was the first time I've eaten alligator.
My dad flew into Jacksonville, and due to Continental bringing him one bag but not the other, we had two hours to kill so we went downtown.

The Jacksonville Landing is the commercial area on the river in Jacksonville, with restaurants, shops, a concert venue, etc. We went to a steakhouse called Benny, which had the best mahi mahi I've ever had. For appetizer, they had seasoned fried gator strips. It was amazingly good. Beyond the 'tastes like chicken' cliche, there was a tanginess I hadn't expected.

I just hope it isn't bad karma for me next time i'm looking around in a pond for a mis-hit golfball down here....
