Rapallo, Florida, just outside the city of Fort Myers, was the 8th pit stop in a race around the world. Teams gathered in the small village of Rapallo for the mandatory 36-hour rest period. While here, the teams faced a task to complete before receiving their next clue. The task: Shoes or Blues. In Shoes, teams must board a fanboat and venture into the Everglades where alligators roam free. They will need to capture three alligators with professional help and bring them back to the pit stop. In Blues, teams will need to board jet skiis and capture three photographs of dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico. The alligators sound more dangerous but teams will have professional help while in the jet skiis they will have no direction at all.
Our team chose Shoes and ventured into the Everglades to hunt alligators. Aboard a fanboat, they rode ten miles into the swamps and successfully captured three alligators and brought them back to Rapallo. They will be team number 1 and the first to depart after the rest period.
