Sanibel Island…
Today we drove about 20 miles over to Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
Sanibel is know as a premiere shell hunting spot and in fact has one of the top shell museums in the country, the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum.
Before visiting the Shell Museum we walked down one of the local beaches so Jan could find some shells.
Bowman's Beach on Sanibel Island
It’s not as pretty as Gulf Shores, but it is nice.
Coming home we tried out a new Mexican restaurant we had seen advertised, called Iguana Mia. We were really starting to miss Houston Tex-Mex and this place filled the void. Much recommended.
More tomorrow…
Resting up…
Today we didn’t do much. Still trying to rest up from our pretty much non-stop visit to Disney World.
I’m back working on the engine AC belt again. After replacing the tensioner pulley a few weeks ago I thought I had the problem fixed. But it shed the belt again after about 300 miles so I think I’ve still got an alignment problem. I’ll try another shim and see if that helps.
Since we spent last summer in Alaska this is the first time we’ve really needed the engine AC.
We went to a new restaurant for supper this evening. It’s called Sweet Tomatoes and we really enjoyed it. It’s a Salad, Soup, Bakery, and Dessert buffet that’s really good. We’ll go back.
