Arrived here on June 3 for three nights. We had a very challenging trip with torrential rain for about 45 minutes which dropped 3 inches of rain, one inch per 15 minutes. Visability was down to about 20 feet at times and many cars pulled off the road to wait it out. The wind hit us hard while we cruised through an intersection and push our 32000 pound motorhome over about 4 inches. A little scarry but I am getting my fill of weather daily. I sure am glad we decided to reseal the roof in Ft. Myers as we have been getting thundershowers almost every day. This is Florida's rainy season. The campground is more like a trailer park for mini mobile homes and motorhomes. Not much of a camping experience but had full hookups with 50 amp service and a level concrete pad to park the motorhome. There are 2 functioning pools. This is a membership park so it was well worth the $10 nightly fee. I rate the park M***. Spent one day shopping for waterfront lots or houses with no luck. There are hundreds of properties for sale, but still way too expensive. We did find a quality semi custom builder who builds nice quality homes with all the luxuries we have been accustomed to for $90 - $125 per square foot. We are not impressed with Florida, so we will continue our search.
Today, we visited Epcot Center. Really tired from all the walking around and fortunately most attractions were in air conditioned comfort as the temp was around 90 degrees with muggy conditions. Our favorite attraction was a boat ride through an area where they grow their own fruits and vegetables for the park on sand or hanging from trellaces. They obtained 32000 pounds of tomatoes from one tomato tree in a 14 month period. We were contestants in a game show where Aggie had to hand velcro bags over my body. We lost the competition but Aggie got this picture. The highlight of our visit at Disney World was the Meditteranian restaurant we ate at. There was live music and a belly dancer while we enjoyed our meal. I ordered Lamb shank and Aggie ordered chicken. Really great food but a little pricey! Thank goodness for American Express. We also enjoyed the aquarium. Tomarrow we are headed for South Carolina along the coast somewhere.
