Lots of clouds this morning and in the 50's....we took off for Everglades City ((35 miles south) and enjoyed driving around, stopping at the visitor's center and watching a movie. So much about this area that we were not familiar with - this area is not swampy - water is always flowing with many alligators, crocodiles (becoming endangered), insects, birds, mammals (manitees, etc.) There are many areas you can rent the airboats to get out and see it all.
The Rod and Gun Club is a historical landmark built in 1864 and visited by many of our former presidents and movie-star celebrities. It is lovely and we had a delicious "Florida" lunch on the screened-in porch, starting with New England Clam Chowder and then Grouper Reuben (Mark) and Crab Cake Reuben (me) and topped off with key lime pie! Went for a walk after that.
Beautiful Rod and Gun Club
The Barron River which flows in front of the restaurant/inn had this lavendar air boat pass by while we were eating with 2 pelicans perched on the bow.
Back to Naples and stopped at Wal Mart and Publix. The sun came out while we were eating and rest of afternoon was gorgeous. We exercised and then went on 6-mile bike ride! Warming up a tad more each day!
Connor was the star student all week at school!
Way to go, Connor!!!
