HOLY SHIT IT'S HOT HERE!!
I mean it. It's a "wall of heat that burns your skin as soon as you step out of the blessed thing that is Air Conditioning" kind of hot around here. And the Moisture in the air (to steal Greg's analogy) is like "having a seven foot linebacker leaning on your shoulders all day, just kind of saying 'hey buddy, how ya doin'?" ALL DAY.
But, those two grievances out of the way.....there is absolutely nothing bad to say about this place that is Ft. Myers, Florida. As a matter of fact, there is nothing that is not amazing around here. It is such a latitude change from anywhere I have ever traveled. Everything is new to me, I fucking love it. I still find myself just looking around, trying to soak it all in.
Last weekend, I had a great time as Greg, Judy, and Cari (Greg's girlfriend) showed me around the area. Greg introduced me to Downtown Ft. Myers, Ft Myers Beach, Captiva Beach, The Mucky Duck Restaurant (where Jude works), and many a bar along the way (the Hideaway is a great place, as is The Buddha). On Captiva Beach I witnessed the greatest sunset I have seen in at least 13 years. It was the second time that people on the beach actually applauded the sun as it finally dropped below the horizon. That moment reminded me that I had made the right decision in coming to Florida.

The Mucky Duck! I ate there once as a kid! We used to stay at South Seas Plantation every Easter when I was growing up - I love Captiva too. Your blogs and comments make me sentimental for those trips.
