We have been at Legacy Harbour Marina "wintering" in sunny Ft Myers for almost a month now.
We never tire of walking the beautiful City of Palms.
Every street is adorned with Palm Trees which provide a tropical atmosphere.
The vibrant, colorful foliage reminds us that the temperature never gets down to freezing . . . .
. . . . and that's why we're here!!
We enjoyed our own private tour of the Edison-Ford Estates with the Gold Looper group.
Linda was thrilled to discover one of Edison's favorite games was Parcheesi.
In fact, her Grandma & Grandpa Pennington had this very same game!
Hard to believe that all the building materials for Edison's home were either imported from Europe or shipped from New England and brought ashore on this dock. Anything is possible when you are one of the richest men in the world!
Do you recognize these vintage vehicles from Ford's collection?
Eddy relaxes with Mrs. Edison in one of her many gorgeous, exotic gardens.
The banyan tree on the Edison-Ford estate is quite impressive.
The "mother tree" is located in India and covers 14 acres!
Check out the sinks in the restroom at the downtown eatery, " Ford's Garage" . . . . .
. . . . . and the door handles are noteworthy too!
Our boating friends, Jeanne & Kenny, who were stuck waiting for the Erie Canal to open when we were doing the Great Loop, came to visit us from Stuart, FL.
We learned not to dare Kenny to climb a palm tree!
Live music can always be found in the downtown streets of Ft Myers. This was a kilt-wearing celebration!
Walking downtown in Ft Myers sunshine brings out the "Happy" in our fun friends, Lolly and Jeff!
And receiving a goodie package filled with Mom Pennington's homemade treats brings out the happy in Eddy & Linda!
Eddy and Linda wish they could send some of this glorious sunshine to their relatives who are shoveling snow.

Another dramatic ending to a blessed day!
