Manatee Lake SP, Sarasota, FL, to W. P. Franklin Park, Ft. Myers, FL:  Left Manatee Lake at 10:00, and of course it’s the warmest day we’ve had since arriving here.  Arrived at W. P. Franklin before noon and were set up by 1:00.  Sat outside enjoying our beautiful view of the Caloosahatchee River.  Called Jan and let her know we were here.  Ron is taking Thursday and Friday off, so we’re planning on going over there Wednesday and having dinner with them.  We drove over to Sanibel Island and had a late lunch at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar and Grill.  I had Mahi Mahi and Mike had a pork chop.  Really good.  I had one Mojito before dinner.  Limited to one since it was pretty potent.  Mike had a Bloody Mary which was loaded with large olives. Explored around Sanibel a little after lunch and then drove back in rush hour traffic.  85 today!!!   Yes!


View of the Caloosahatchee and the estate across from our site.

Doc Ford is the main character in the books of Randy Wayne White.

Only had one of these tasty Mojitos.
