Once again we moved today -- all the way to North Fort Myers. We going to be here for the next nine nights. It will be good to be in one place for a bit. We took Highway 41, the Tamiami Trail, across the state of Florida. It runs alongside the Tumiami Canal (confusing, huh?). On the eastern side, the canal is wide and open. The further east you go, the narrower it gets and becomes very closed in with trees, palms and grasses.
Highway 41 is a two-lane road, mostly in pretty good repair. There is road work going on that turned it into a single lane several times --
We must have seen over a hundred of these critters today! It was a sunny day and there were lots of alligators soaking up the warmth along the banks of the canal --
If we saw a hundred alligators, we must have seen a thousand birds. All kinds of herons, egrets, anhingas and cormorants. What we did not see were any of the pythons the news says are wiping out the small mammals in the Everglades!
We are settled in at Sun Seekers RV Park in North Fort Myers, Florida. As I was walking back to the office to pay our rent, a lady on a trike stopped me to tell me "what a good job my husband had done backing into that place!" I don't know where she was watching from, but it was nice to hear.
