Picture success !!

Thanks to Darin and Pam's techie skills, we discovered why the pictures weren't uploading.  We learned that Blogspot users now have to use Chrome to blog if they want to upload pictures.  It appears to be a conspiracy by Google to get us all to switch over to Chrome as our browser, rather than Internet Explorer. Good news is ... problem solved.  So rather than rewrite the previous blog, just gonna post pics and captions here.  This is a floating bait shop on the Caloosahatchee River just outside Fort Meyers.

In Fort Meyers Beach, and here in Marathon, we are on a mooring ball.  Picking up the ball can be a challenge ... Susan shows her technique while Cheryl looks on.

I've likely posted this pic before, but this is the Fort Meyers Beach pirate boat ... for the tourists.

Trico Shrimp Company nestled among the shrimp boat fleet.  Excellent gulf shrimp.

And here is the shrimp fleet.  

The homes on the Naples waterways are spectacular.  Note the "boat garage" on the right side of the first one.

 In Everglades City, this is the interior of the Rod and Gun Club.

 This is the exterior.  They don't open until 11:30, but the porch was open, so we took our own morning coffee up and enjoyed it on the porch.

This is the museum, where we learned how Everglades City was developed as a planned community to house the workers who built the Tamiami Highway, a massive undertaking that connected Tampa and Miami built in the early 1900's.  

 We are having a great time with Pam and Darin and they are enjoying the cruisers lifestyle.
