So I finally got my toes in the sand and not with boots this time…I spent the extended weekend down to Cape Coral with friends that were down from Maine on vacation. Saturday night we went to a neat tiki bar called the Boat House. After dinner we walked out on the pier and watched the beautiful sunset. Sunday we hit Fort Myer’s beach, the weather was fantastic, in the 80’s. The sand was silky soft and almost white in color. On the right side of the pier there were some buoys in the water and dolfins were swimming all around them catching fish. I can never get enough of those beautiful creatures – fun to watch! After lunch we went over to Sanibel beach, another beautiful beach. I was amazed at the pelicans and a few ospreys that were diving into the water after fish. They would dive so fast that you would think their necks would break when they hit the water. Fun day at both beaches, then a nice relaxing evening hanging by the fire pit. Monday we hung out at the pool all day and went out to dinner at the Lazy Flamingo. The food was delicious! Tuesday everyone was catching flights back to Maine, so glad they all had good weather while they were here. It’s been a rough winter this year in Maine. Was so nice seeing them too!
One evening we saw the eyes and nose of an alligator in the stream behind where we were staying. When we went down a little closer to see if he was hiding on the shoreline we saw a duck with his head stretched way out and not moving. He knew the alligator was close and he was very close to the edge of the water – fearing for his life I am sure!
Love and Light to you all!
