Still laid back in Pine Island

2013-02-16

My first visit to Pine Island was way back in the 1970’s, there was nothing here then but Mosquitoes. The island has grown in popularity a lot since then, but it is still a laid back kind of place. There are no traffic signals on the island, no gated mansion communities and more palm trees than people.

The week has flown by; we’ve done the tourist thing in Naples, gone to two dances here at the campground, visited with friends who have winter homes here on the island, walked the dogs, relaxed, eaten out more often than is healthy and used the gym at the campground, but not enough to counteract the French fries.

Tomorrow we go back to the Orlando Thousand Trails campground for our second 14 day stay of our winter retreat here in Florida.
