We stopped off for part of a day at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park to check out Lou the Hippo and all of the other neat creatures big and small at the park. To reach the park from the parking lot, you have to take a boat through the swamp.
Lou the hippo! He used to be a movie star. Now he’s retired.
