Into the swamp

Last night we went to the local theatre to see an old Ayckbourne : "Bedroom Farce" and enjoyed it although it is a little dated.  It was a full house and is running every night for almost a month so people will obviously support theatre here.

Friday, last day in Fort Myers:

Big Cypress Slough (pron slew) is a swamp really close to Fort Myers yet it feels miles away.  I kept thinking of a book from my childhood: The Girl of the Limberlost.  We saw gators of various sizes, wild piglets, huge turtles, a cottonmouth snake and a huge woodpecker tapping out his nest.

All this from the safety of a board walk, of course.

Tonight we're having BBQ'd T bones courtesy of the neighbour who is chief butcher and meat-buyer for a local Italian supermarket   Up early tomorrow for flight to San Antonio- we hope.  Weather is much cooler there so no more summer clothes for a while.
