Day two was a constant traverse of the landscape and of the region. First, a trip north to the Corkscrew Swamp - passing through the migrant town of Immokalee with its bodegas and taquerias, and its Indian casino. Then on to Ave Maria, the fake town built by Catholics. Afterwards, a visit to Fakahatchee Strand boardwalk, and Kirby Storter, and H.P. Turner parks.
