I take my dog for a walk and we are gone for quite some time. Ok, enough scene setting, let’s get back to the terrifying snake. In the complex we lived in, there were eight apartments in each section with two outdoor staircases for both sections. I loved this because it made me feel like I was on a tv show super cool and fancy. Since they don’t have to worry about snowy winter, most open right to the outside. Apartments are contained inside a building. For example, in Canada when you enter into a building, it’s through one door and you use stairs or an elevator to go up to the floor, down a hallway into your apartment. Since I grew up in Canada, and we have winter, our apartment buildings work differently than many do in Florida. My husband was at work and I had been walking the dog.
The first time I saw a snake outside our apartment I almost lost my mind. My husband is from the south and there were certain things about living in the south he didn’t to warm me because he grew up there.
It’s a fish out of water type story and now I can look back upon it and laugh. I thought I would tell you guys a funny story today about when I first moved to Florida.
