TRAVELS TO FLORIDA WITH MY MOM

WHEN I WAS AN UNDERGRADUATE IN THE 1970'S I TRAVELED WITH MY MOM TO SANIBEL AND FORT MEYERS FLORIDA FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WE STAYED IN A MOTEL AND WE BROUGHT A COKER STOVE AND WE ATE FRESH SHRIMP FROM THE OCEAN. SANIBEL WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO. I COLLECTED MANY SHELLS OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES. IT A FAVORITE SHELLING BEACH OF THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS. THE TOWN WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1850 AS A FORT DURING THE SEMINOLE WAR. IT HAS SINCE DEVELOPED A LOT OF PROSPERITY BECAUSE OF TOURISM, AND HAS BECOME THE HOME OF MANY SENIORS.
