A day trip to Fort Myers

Brrrrr...... Florda is having record colds, they are worried about their tomato and strawberry plants freezing...
Yesterday on our way into Fort Myers we stopped at a fruit market and her tomatoes and strawberries looked wonderful but she was nervous about what the tempatures would get last night. When we woke up this moring there was a little white on the truck, it does not last long but it still was there.

Here is a picture of her tomatoes, don't they look so healthy. Also along the way were orchards and orchards of ripe oranges. The market lady says the strawberries will be ready anytime mid Dec. and will go until April.

Our main objective to going to town was to look at our next park and it is going to be okay, it isn't fantastic but okay, I like it where we are but I think Ron does not have enough to do here.

On the way home we stopped at the Manatee Park which is right across the road from the Hydro Electric Plant that provides warm water in the little channel. The manatee gather here when it is so cold to keep warm.
They were a little hard to see what here is what we got for pictures.









The park was very cute with lots of information about the manatee, gators and butterflies.
It only cost a dollar to park and go see.



Yes they make the manatee look so cute and friendly, he does not quite look like that.



Ron bought me a book rack so he is putting that up and he has to change a water fitting outside so he will have a couple chores this morning.
It is supposed to be 65 today but back to 75 tomorrow, at least we can hope.
