Wir besuchten den „Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve“ in Ft. Myers zwei Mal. Die beiden Besuche, hatten uns mit Abstand viel besser gefallen, als der Besuch des Corkscrew Preserve nördlich von Napels. Nicht nur da er viel billiger ist (man bezahlt hier nur den Parkplatz 1.- $/Std.), sondern auch wegen der vielen Tiere die wir hier zu Gesicht bekamen. Auf einem rund 2 Kilometer langen Rundgang, über Holzbohlen kamen wir durch Zypressenwälder und an verschiedenen Tümpeln vorbei. In den Tümpeln entdeckten wir, Alligatoren, Wasserschildkröten, Fische und verschieden Stelzvögel. Unter den Zypressen wühlte sich eine Rotte Wildschweine auf Futtersuche, durch das Dickicht. Die Bäume hingen voller Bromelien, welche teilweise blühten. In weiter Ferne (mit dem Fernglas) sahen wir sogar einen Weisskopf Seeadler. Lusti... read more

Hi everyone, Most of what we have been doing is repetitive as we have ‘settled’ in our Fort Myers, Fl life. Monday a.m. meeting, followed by water aerobics for me, line dancing Monday evening, Flea Market early a.m. Wed., Bingo Wed. evening, yard sales early a.m. Thursday, Friday & Saturday followed by Flea Markets on Fri. Sat. & Sunday. We also have an ice cream social every Sunday evening (all you can eat ice cream for $1.50). We went to an RV show in Tampa and ‘ran into’ some of our friends whom we will see when get to Clermont, Fl. in March. We went to a large antique show in West Palm Beach, Fl. and saw some dealers whom we set up next to in Brimfield! (Small world for sure). In addition on Jan. 31 ... read more

Weather has been holding out, mostly cloudy but very pleasant and warm. Generally, we've just been heading out in the morning with no particular plan, sometimes spending the day with Miranda, Ben and the kids, other days just checking stuff out on our own. The other day, we found a Peruvian restaurant & bakery called El Patio. We can eat hamburgers and sandwiches anytime so wanted to try Peruvian food. We didn't know what to order so just asked the waiter, we found it similar to a marinated stir fry with herbs, served with rice, very flavourful. Ian liked the Peruvian beer called Cusquana. We drove out to Fort Myers beach one day, it was super busy, I mean crazy. We were stuck in at least an hour of traffic just getting there. Ian says it's ... read more
