Cape Coral Trip 2011-- Part 2

February 4th

Rushed through the meal so we could meet the real estate lady, Chris, back at the hotel, a few blocks away, but a really great half pound Angus burger.

We went to about eight condos, many on a canal. Prices were $39,000 to $60,000. Al is getting ready to retire and looking for a place to live during the winter in Florida. He is from Canada and hates the winter. Imagine that.

Frank has been working with the real estate lady for a couple years, but is strictly in the looking mode. This recession that the government says is over, hit Cape Coral particularly hard and most everything is worth just a third to a half of what it was. Good deals abound.

Al liked a couple of them.

Afterwards, we went to Hustler's, sat out on the patio and had a couple drinks. Fridays, the waitresses wear lingerie which made it hard to contemplate the drinks and warm weather.

Later went to R.C.'s place which he is renting while waiting for his home in Illinois to sell. Last stop was Tim's, who is a neighbor of Dave's. All have lanais and pools.

Sitting outside on a February day, having drinks and not freezing, maybe Uncle Al's onto something. Maybe I should be out looking myself.
