The day after Russ' accident we visited him in the hospital and then went to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. They have hundreds of crocks and alligators. We watched them be fed and looked at all the different species and saw which ones are endangered and which are not. The next day we drove to the Kennedy Space Center/NASA and took one of their tours. Thanks to our astronaut friend John Fabian, we met a shuttle astronaut, Scott Parazynski and had our picture taken w/him. He has flown 5 missions, one of which was the shuttle w/John Glenn. He 1st met him when he was 5 and all these years later he was John Glenn's physician when he went up for NASA to study the effects of space on older people. Scott has also scaled Mt. Everest. Our tour guide told us John was her favorite so we called him on one of the stops and she and John had a brief conversation.
