Unfortunately, we caught some kind of nasty URI while in Orlando, and when we arrived in Ft. Myers, we were both laid low. We had Christmas dinner with friends Rose, Pam, Kathy and Mary Jane, three of whom used to drive school bus with Cory. All have since relocated to this area, and all of THEM got sick after we had dinner with them. So though we spent nearly a month in town, we only saw our friends one other time after Christmas--nobody was well enough to be up and visiting!
But we did get out a few times to see some of the sights. We took an airboat ride on the EverGlades, as well as a "jungle boat tour" out of Everglades City that, mostly, consisted of riding through the no-wake zone looking at the fabulous homes build on the waterfront. And we saw all the alligators we cared to see, right off the highway!
