We have been in Ft Myers for several days. We are staying at a lovely RV resort just south of the Caloosahatchee and Orange Rivers, on the north side of the Ft Myers area. We are having cool and lovely weather today. Several days ago a very strong storm system moved through this area with heavy rains and strong winds. Fortunately for us, the tornadoes were north of us, and they did cause damage. The rain fell in buckets here for about an hour, and the lake, which we look out on, is quite high. There is standing water in the ditches and in the low areas everywhere. The El Niño has provided this wetness and also the strong storms.
The birds out our front window by the edge of the lake are great. Each morning we see grebes, herons, egrets, Wilson's snipe ( hadn't seen that one before), anhingas, killdeer, and loggerhead shrike. It is quite a show.
Gary has spent a large amount of time working to get our hard-wired Internet connection working. It is now working as well as it does for anyone in this park, but there are problems with speed and people are complaining. At least it works some of the time. Good because the cell signal is not that great either!
More coming up as we do some things in the area.
