Happy Anniversary

 
 
March 13th marks one year cruising on Karma. We have had great times, but we aren't home yet! Let us tell you about Ft. Myers and Naples.
 

The Calusa Indians made this land their home thousands of years ago, utilizing the favorable climate and abundant natural resources to thrive and prosper.


Ever since then, the beaches of Fort Myers have attracted people for the same reasons.


We visit the Edison & Ford Winter Estates and enjoy 20 acres of historical buildings, historic gardens, the Edison Botanic Research Lab and the Edison Ford Museum.


When you visit Thomas A. Edison's winter estate, you enter a world unlike any other. The furnishings and architecture of these gracious, rambling buildings are reminiscent of a bygone era. 


Henry Ford purchased his home in 1916, providing him the opportunity to vacation with Thomas Edison. The Ford porch, adjacent to the vintage garage, offers a spectacular riverfront view of the Caloosahatchee River.




Kidding around with friends, Marcia and Russ, traveling with us on the boat Paper Moon.


 
 
Our next stop is Naples.
 
 
We pull into Naples Boat Club located in the historic area of Old Naples. This dock-o-minium offers a full service, state-of-the-art marina, with a touch of class.
 
 
We were very happy to get into a secure dock along with our friends, Paper Moon, as windy weather will be coming through.
 
 
Naples is a great place to walk, dine out, and shop.
 
 
As luck would have it, our friends, Linda and Carlo from Miami, visit, and we all have a good time at Handsome Harry's outdoor cafe.
