We arrived Friday evening at the Fort Myers airport to be greeted by one of South Florida's famous "rainy season" thunderstorms. The attendant at the car rental counter helpfully upgraded us from a compact to a minivan at no extra charge, so we decided that Florida can be welcoming, after all!
Behind his place is a lovely view, including a small lake. It is posted, as are all waterways in Florida, with a warning that alligators reside within. So it's not exactly a wading stream. One obvious feature of the Florida landscape is its total flatness. People who think Kansas prairies are flat really need to come to Florida. All of the water, just lying in marshes or running the the myriad canals, would be a welcome sight in Missouri, Oklahoma or Kansas right now, too.
