A Day At The Beach





The sky was kind of gray this morning, but the temperature was warm so we headed for Fort Myers Beach. As the day went on, conditions improved and by mid afternoon, we had blue skies and sunshine. It turned out to be a great day. The beach was not too crowded, traffic going and returning was good, so we had a good day.

Lunch was eaten at Wahoo Willies, which Kris will remember because we ate a meal there with her too. Mike and Kim both picked up a little tan to take back to Ohio with them. Maybe we can get them a little more before they leave. The picture with the parrot was taken at the restaurant. Some local guy was eating lunch and had his 18 year old parrot with him. The bird was very tame and dozens of people were snapping pictures with him.

Another comment on our Naples Zoo visit yesterday. It is mating season for alligators and the zoo has a large collection of them in this lake within the zoo. As we walked around the lake, the big males would come up to the bank of the island in the lake and raise their heads out the water and ROAR. Some on each side of the island were roaring back and forth at each other. We had never heard this before and it was really something to see and hear.
