May 22 - biking on Sanibel Island

The last few days and the expected next few days have and will be about 34 degrees, 75+% humidity and storms in the late afternoon and evening. 

Today was biking with Lu on Sanibel Island, they have 26 miles of paved bike paths with rest/water stops along the way. 
Also this is one of the very few places that allow leashed dogs on all beaches, what a treat.




Lu appears to be a bit scared of the waves, but hoping she will one day enjoy the water.

Lots of shells on the beaches of Sanibel. I have a large collection at home already from our previous visits here...so mostly enjoyed looking and just kept a few.


Happened upon a Gopher 🐢 on the bike path


It was funny he looked really slow....as we think they all are, but this guy was speedy crossing the path to get to some greener grass!


This was a really neat Shell Heart in the Visitor Center. It is called "In my Heart of Hearts" by Ginny Dickinson.

It is made out of shells collected by her for 59.9 years of her life and took 6 weeks to create!


Finished off the day with a walk around the RV Park and George found a practice spot!

Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...

The temperatures here are refreshing....it cooled down last night to about 14 degrees...first time in a long time that the air conditioner was turned off and windows opened to let the breeze in through the night... We spent the day tripping around Asheville. Lu is in Doggy Daycare today so we are on our own. There are many large old buildings with individual little boutique stores and eateries.. Our first church we have been in on this trip...we got invited in so ..why not! Very cool area, we mostly window shopped....browsed around...enjoyed the cool old buildings... We saw quite a few old buildings converted into "Art walks" where there were individual artist displays/sales....love this guy!!!! A bike made out of wood....$60,000.00!!! Then back out on the streets!! Asheville is Beer Capital USA...and by 2:00...still no beer in our be...
