So today we made our way to Fort Myers Beach. The bus ride was not so great, seeing as there was crazy traffic and we decided to get out of the bus and walk the rest of the way. Walking wasn't so bad, except the bus pretty much caught up to us so it makes me wonder if it was worth it. Anyway the sights we saw on the way there though were beautiful. I had never been to that area and was pretty amazed at how beautiful it really was. Lover's key sounds like a great place to visit.
Once we walked into the Historic Cottage, I was taken aback by how it looked. For some reason I imagined a crummy looking place, but this was beautiful and well kept. There were so many displays and things that were interesting. It's hard to imagine that people actually lived in cottages like that back in the day. That's barely enough room for a family to live in. Something Jo told us that really got me thinking was that the school was 1 classroom, and the teacher was everything in that place, including the janitor. How crazy is that? I was looking around at some of the displays and suddenly this picture really caught my attention for some reason, it was funny and seemed almost out of place.
Anyway after Jo talked we got a chance to go on the trail. Honestly I was too dizzy to concentrate on what Professor Wilkinson was saying. The path kept winding and there were too many creepy sounds coming from the mangroves. I mean it was a really nice place and there was a lot of information, my head was just spinning. I did really enjoy looking out at the water. It was so peaceful and quiet. Makes me realize just how important it is to keep areas like this clean and safe from other harm.
