Bonita Lake Resort


As we drove across the Everglades, we did see alligators lounging in the sun and swimming in the canal along the road. Quite a few tropical birds as well, some sitting with their wings partly spread to show off their colors, likely in hopes of attracting a female. 

We aren't sure what qualifies an RV Camp to label themselves a resort, except perhaps full hook-ups, pool, planned activities,and a higher price, but this place is quite nice. An older park, where we seemed squeezed in because RV's are now larger and have push-out slides, but very friendly and with lots to do if you wish to participate. For instance, Fridays at 8PM is Movie night, complete with fresh pop corn. Tomorrow AM is a pancake breakfast, just $3; and Sunday afternoon a Super Bowl Party.

I took this photo at the little lake that the resort is named for, while taking a late afternoon walk. There I saw some very odd ducks, with faces nearly as ugly as a turkey, and I think a small alligator swam by too.

We are between Naples and Fort Meyers, and on Sunday we will visit my friends Paul & Dianna in North Port. Perhaps we'll check out the Regatta in Port Charlotte (a good photo op, no doubt) or maybe we'll just kick back and relax for a day.
