We spent the day today on Sanibel Island.  It’s just off the coast from Ft Myers, and just north of Ft Myers Beach.  It reminded me of Door County on an island instead of a peninsula, on the gulf instead of a lake.

We saw some interesting wildlife:

The kids did some fishing, we got some shrimp and minnows and just let them cast them off of the beach for awhile.  They didn’t catch anything, but had a lot of fun.

The brochures tell you that the entire island is formed from sea shells.  Looking at the picture below, it’s not hard to believe.

Peggy and the kids spent all day picking through the billions of small sea shells washed up all along the beach.  At the end of the day, they looked like lobsters, but happy little lobsters.  We’re going to spend the day tomorrow in the house recovering and healing.
