Fort Myers/Sanibel Island - February 25th

Today was best day ever- I'd call it a four paws up kind of day!!! (I know, I said that once before, but somehow, the days on this trip just keep getting better and better!)  And I also have to let the dog world know  Sanibel Island is the place to go.  After all of the ‘NO DOGS ALLOWED’ signs, we finally found a place that is welcoming to those of us with 4 paws!  I was allowed on the beaches and was even allowed to walk around on the trails at the US Fish and Wildlife Service refuge – the DN Ding Darling Refuge.  What a place!

 We took a walk thru a mangrove swamp.  Those are some strange looking trees!  And the critters that hide in and among them are pretty neat too.  Saw some alligators (I’m becoming used to seeing them altho I still don’t trust them!)  and a lot of birds...  and these Fiddler crabs.

No trip to Sanibel Island is complete without a walk on the beach and a search for shells.  I’m not really into that, but I guess it was an OK way to spend part of the afternoon!  I tried to act interested in all of that….   and we did find some pretty shells, thanks to my careful watching!

Back at the RV park, that evening, we were treated to some neighbors who had a campfire, a few guitars and some really really old songs.  Mom and Jay were singing along, but I didn’t know the words, so I slept quietly at their feet.  Guess that’s what you do when you get old!
