PACKERS GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL-GO PACK GO!
Karen and Bill left early this morning; it was a busy week. Besides the usual tourist things, we went to the National Florida Panther Wildlife Refuge and went on a "Swamp Buggy" ride through the refuse. We saw alligators, manatees, and deer and we got to pick oranges and grapefruit from wild trees. Another day we took the Fort Myers Ferry to Key West and did the walking tour of the museums. We visited "The Bull" Tavern which was quit the experience also. It was nice going to the island but on the way back it got really, really, rough and half the people on the boat got sea sick, including Karen. Waves were splashing over the 3 story ferry. It seems like it took forever to get back to Fort Myers. The next day we went to Sanibal Island and toured the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge and went to the beach and picked a lot of shells.
