The Alamosa Alligator Farm

 On the way home from the sand dunes, we stopped by a famous (infamous?) alligator farm.  It was quite the experience!  Darin is holding a live (YES ALIVE) alligator in this picture. 

 This farm is actually a tilapia farm that became a sanctuary for reptiles that owners could no longer keep.  Apparently there's a synergy between tilapia farming and having reptiles that can eat the fish that die!?  There were hundreds of alligators, peacocks, roosters, turtles.  Every boy's dream:-)
