At the Beach!

Where's Nina?

We’re settled in at the Siesta Bay RV Park in Fort Myers, Florida just a couple of miles from the causeway to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. We arrived Friday afternoon, picked up a rental car, and got checked in. We did some shopping on Saturday and some wandering around in the car on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. We did go down to the beach for a little while and sat on the sand.

The water is actually quite chilly. Neither of us will be spending any time in the ocean any deeper than up to our ankles! The weather is very nice here. Today the high was about 81º with 63% humidity. I have been sweating! Definitely not used to this amount of humidity. I’m sure it won’t take too long to acclimate, though.

We went to Church at the Fort Myers Ward this morning and attended the full block. This was our eighth Sunday on the Roland and Nina Great American Road Trip and the most diverse Ward that we’ve attended. They had two speakers, a musical number by the Primary, and one by the Relief Society as their Christmas program. We’ll find a different Ward next Sunday to keep up the tradition of being somewhere new every Sunday.

After Church and lunch we drove down through the Fort Myers beaches and stopped at sunset on the beach to see what, if any, sunset might be visible. The clouds were heavy and thus we had a very dull and dark sunset. However, it was quite delightful to sit on the beach as it got dark. Nina did find a few seashells!
