It was a beautiful day in Ft Myers. We got up early, showered, had breakfast, and headed to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. It took us an hour and a half to get there. This is an Audubon sponsored refuge and a two and a quarter mile boardwalk through 4 separate environments. There were lots of people there, but it wasn’t terribly crowded. We saw lots of neat birds like a barred owl, endangered wood storks, a red-shouldered hawk, anhinga, ibis, a black-crowned night heron, and a great blue heron. The walk was a pretty one, and we spent a couple of hours doing the walk.
We had our picnic lunch at a picnic table there at the Sanctuary and then headed to Koreshan State Historical Site. This was on our way home and recommended by cousin Nancy. Here are the buildings of a utopian society founded by Cyrus Teed. He had a bizarre belief that we live inside the earth. Some of the buildings were beautiful, and we watched an informative and entertaining movie about Teed and his settlement.
Finally we headed home, both of us pretty tired. We were out exploring for 9 hours, but we managed to fix dinner and watch some TV. It is supposed to get down into the 30s here tonight, but it should warm up tomorrow.
