Ft. Myers, here I come

Well, this may be news to some, but my next step in life may be Ft. Myers, Fla. Here is some info. about Ft. Myers that I grabbed off their website. "Ft. Myers, a thriving city rich in history and nature, serves as gateway to a stretch of islands known for their white-sand beaches, bird life and recreational opportunities." Beaches and recreation is one thing, but what kind of a place is known for their bird life? "The city hugs the shores of the wide Caloosahatchee River, which created the town and levered its importance during the Seminole Wars. Since the early 1800s, settlers and visitors of fame and wealth came to Fort Myers and area, most notably light bulb inventor Thomas A. Edison." I see that it is rich in history, I like that. "Professional theater, a sophisticated performing arts hall and two sports parks, which host the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins for spring training, provide entertainment in the Fort Myers area. Downtown is evolving into a lively night scene where clubs, coffee houses, street performers and cafes draw a young, artsy crowd." On second thought, I don't think I would fit in at all (See underlined items). "For nature lovers, parks preserve fragile habitat while providing trails for hiking, biking and paddling. Manatee Park is home to a herd of endangered Florida manatees that come to winter in its warm waters every year. Visitors can kayak among them or listen to their singing through special hydrophones." OK, I didn't know there were manatees. My decision is final. I'm going to Ft. Myers for the manatees. Come and visit. I am actually on my way there for spring break this week. Hello 80 degree weather and random storms.
