Matlacha, pronounced Mat-la-shay, is a small town next to Pine Island in the Fort Myers area on the west coast of Florida. Matlacha is an artsy enclave with pastel painted little buildings filled to the brim with art of all kinds. Yes, it is touristy, but that does not take away from the charm of this hobbit like village. Janet and I, along with Bob and JoAnne, walked along the narrow road that separated the waterway, on both sides, leading to Pine Island. We ducked into many of the art galleries along the way for a look at the crafts and also to get out of the heat and increasing humidity. One particular shop we visited had a magnificent outdoor gallery on a residential canal. It was an amazing display laid out with careful placement of the art pieces. The artist created a visual park that instantly brought smiles to our faces. We spent quite a bit of time walking the paths admiring the work displayed. Janet bought an acrylic flamingo that is a wind ornament. It fits on a thin metal pole and moves gracefully in the smallest breeze. It will make a nice outdoor mobile when we park our motor home. We ate a light dinner with some drinks at a local watering hole on the bay. The four of us sat, ate and drank until sunset. A very relaxing time was had by all. It was our last night with Bob and JoAnne until we see them again at the end of August for our trip together to Europe.
