February 8, 2011.
Last breakfast at the hotel: scrambled eggs and bacon. Hard to beat those Holiday Inn Express hot breakfasts. I was thinking about getting a bit of last-minute pool time, but it was too cool as a cold front came in last night. OK, I can live with 66 degrees in February.
We drove out to the rich folks enclave out at Sanibel Island and paid their $6 admission fee to cross the bridge. We went to the south end of the island and took a walk around Sanibel Island lighthouse, one of those steel skeletal affairs and quite impressive.
Walking along the beach, we saw dolphins frolicking in the shallows and a lot of pelicans. There were also lots of shells around.
I remembered that I had bought two Sanibel Island lighthouses at Ace when they had them on sale for $15 each.
Near the lighthouse, they had a sign for a sub watch site used during World War II to watch for German U-boats. A person would have thought they would have just used the lighthouse.
An artist was on the beach making a beautiful painting of the scene. I wouldn't have minded buying it, but don't really have anywhere to put it.
Still on Sanibel. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
