TERI'S BIRTHDAY IN SANIBEL ISLAND

We celebrated Teri's birthday with a day in Sanibel island. She is as young as when she was 20!



We had lunch at a very nice seafood restaurant with an old Florida atmosphere, on Sanibel Harbor between the boats and coconut palms. The roof has the open beams of homes of the original settlers and a sophisticated seafood menu.
We had an excellent lobster salad and fresh caught local grouper.

Here is the restaurant at harbor side.

Beautiful homes and condos line the harbor channel with boats at their docks. The channel opens to the harbor and then to the Gulf of Mexico. Sanibel is no longer an idyllic tropical island. It has long been taken-over by big money.

A very nice yatch among the tropical Hibiscus flowers.


At the mouth of the harbor, beyond the white sand bank you can see the Sanibel causeway bridge.

After lunch we headed to our favorite beach.


After lunch we set-up a beach camp at our favorite Sanibel beach just North of the lighthouse from the 1800's.
