Oops, no beach.

 Cyndy and I planned a beach day and searching for shark teeth in the sand. We loaded up the car with the requisite beach chairs, beach towels, sand sifters, bathing suits, books, sun hats.....you get the picture. However

when we got there, there was no beach, just huge piles of sand and a closed parking lot


with heavy machinery dealing with the sand that had obliterated the roads, shops and residences along "the key"

We drove along the, now cleared, road and could see the destruction of homes, businesses and flora. It was mind boggling and so sad. The area was hit by 2 hurricanes in October of this year, Helene and Milton, and experienced storm surge and flooding.

So, change of plans. We returned home and researched another excursion option. Manatee Park in Fort Myers...
