Our visit to Fort Myers has been wonderfully relaxing and with great weather, before the brutal Florida heat and humidity set in, is the perfect location for Janet and me. Having our cousins Bob and JoAnne here, as bi-annual residents, is an added bonus. Our home base for the motorhome is an RV resort in the northern part of the city. The grounds are well maintained, and it has lots of trails for bike riding along with a pool and spa for cooling off and meeting some interesting folks. We feel like a minority as the majority of RVer’s here are French Canadian and, as you would imagine, French is the primary language spoken. Our command of French is limited to “French Fries”. Fort Myers has an architecturally interesting and very walkable downtown area along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Thomas Edison had a residence and laboratory here and was responsible for revolutionizing the lighting in Fort Myers along with his wife having rows of tall palm trees planted on McGregor Avenue, with runs past the Edison Estate and Museum. We went to an art street fair in the downtown area and after some dinner, walked around people watching, art gazing and enjoying the tasteful architecture and beautiful evening weather. We are looking forward to taking a ride over to neighboring Sanibel Island and Captiva to take in the beach, shelling and the art enclave. Janet and I are feeling very comfortable in our new living environment. Just enough room for us. We have made a few modifications on the interior, converting a bunkhouse to an office and have a few ideas for further interior change as we make our home the way we want it. I did a thorough cleaning of the roof yesterday. It went smoothly and I was not out of my comfort zone. Just like when we were in our sticks and bricks, the motorhome requires its own set of maintenance routines. We have an appointment to have the engine serviced with an oil change. An oil change on your home, now that’s a new one for us.
