Just another quick note – we have no internet access at this time. The service people are supposed to be diagnosing the problem and expect to have it working sometime today or tomorrow.
Chilly this morning but it is supposed to warm up to 75 later this afternoon. After breakfast and walking the dogs, Tina headed to the beach for a walk while I spent the morning catching up on the blog. The rest of the day we just took things easy. A walk on the beach, another refreshing drink. A walk on the beach, another refreshing drink. Ahhhhh, very nice afternoon.

Sunday the 22nd
Slept late. By the time we got up it was about 60 degrees out and the dogs were insistant that they go for a walk. After breakfast and cleanup we rode our bikes (along the road) into the area at the north end of the island where all the people were congregating on the beach and along the pier. Since it was sunday there were a lot of people there and several games of beach volleyball were in progress. We rode back on the beach and had lunch when we got back. Later, Tina took several walks about town and on the beach. Then we went into relax mode for the rest of the day.

Monday the 23rd
Up this morning at 5:30 AM so we could drive to Sanibel Island (http://www.sanibelflorida.com/) to do some shelling. Low tide was at 6;38 AM so we wanted to get to the beach early. To get there we drove over the causeway from Ft Myers Beach and into South Ft Myers. It was only about 8 miles to Sanibel but before we could get there we had to pay a $6 toll to cross over to the island.
Since we weren't sure where we were going, we continued up island passing resorts, condo's and small shopping/business centers finally ending up in the middle of the island on the Gulf Coast. We found parking in a Nature Preserve, put money in the meter and walked about a quarter mile to the beach. We were surprised at how many people were up and about with the same idea we had.After passing through a grove of scrub pine and hickory trees we crossed over the dunes and walked onto the beach. There was a hint of light to show us the way and as it got lighter and we got to the beach there were a number of beach walkers in both directions.
By this time it was getting light and it looked like the sun might peek through the clouds to give us a nice sunrise. Sure enough, after walking onto the beach a ways the sun broke through and gave us a nice photo. We walked and waded along the beach for about two hours before deciding to walk back to the car. We had a very successful morning though we still didn't find any big shells. They say that you need a storm to bring them to shore and we haven't had anything like that yet. So we're content to get what we can and enjoy the journey.To see all of todays photos click on the following link;
Tuesday the 24th
Another very nice day. After breakfast Tina went for a long walk and I did a few chores. Later we did laundry and went grocery shopping. It was about 76 degrees out with a light breeze making everything very pleasant. After getting home and putting everything away, Tina worked on her shell collection while I was lazy and read all day.
No photos tday.
