We woke up to sunnier skies but it was quite chilly! They had record lows and the wind was very cold. However, we weren't gonna let that stop us so we bundled up and headed out. First we did a 2.5 mile walk around Lover's Key Park in Bonita Springs, FL. I can not even begin to describe how beautiful it was there!
After the park, we went to the "Everglades Wonder Garden." This was like a zoo for FL wildlife. They are also a animal rehab center. They have the oldest alligator in captivity- he was huge! The guide was worried about him surviving these record cold temps. They had a pond with 12-15 other alligators and we got to watch them eat! Kind of scary but very cool. They also had pink flamingos, Fl. panthers, vultures, black bears, snakes, and other wildlife. It was a definite "must see" if you are in the area.
We ate a late lunch and then headed back to Fort Myers Beach. Since the weather was so cold and our legs were so tired, we decided to catch a movie at the Beach Theater. Very cool place!
