Collier Seminole State Park 

Naples, Florida  

Famous Captiva Island Restaurant has re-opened.

Marc-  Another day visiting the Ft. Myers area with our friend Roberta.  We had a blast and lots of exercise (walking 7 miles mostly on beaches).  Whenever we were in need of refreshment or nourishment there was plenty of availability on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  When we returned from the Islands we walked around Cypress Cove where Roberta lives.

First our our list on Sanibel was visiting a beach condo that we had stayed in before the last two hurricanes: Ian and Milton. 

We stayed in the second floor unit now fully restored.

Path through the protective mangroves to the beach.

Sandy beach at the end of the path and warm clean waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Beautiful eh.

We enjoyed lunch at the Green Flash Restaurant and had dessert at the Bubble Room.

If you misbehave you may end up here.
Almost out.


Alice in Wonderland decor in the dining area.

Bubble lights lit up the room where we were having dessert.

We shared delicious orange cake, soft chocolate cake and ice cream pie before heading back to Fort Myers.


Strangler fig looks like it has taken over this oak tree.
