We heard last night that there was to be a car show in town. Fort Myers is in the process of rehabbing the historical section of its city. We are on the river, and hence they are calling the old section the Riverwalk. This is where we go when we want to go out to dinner (Biker chapter). So, off we went, hats on and sun protection; it was about 85 degrees.

I have to be honest, I forgot my camera and these pictures were taken around 4 this afternoon. When we went at 11 this morning the streets were packed with people. Cars were lined up. Old ones, classics, hot rods, dream cars: Cobras and a Bentley! There were food, beer, Italian ice, and T-shirt kiosks.

We walked around for about 2 hours and finally decided that we needed to eat. Just as we walking by the French Connection a couple got up from their street side table and Kelley sat down. We had a delicious lunch and people watched.

We then walked down and listened to the band. Sitting next to the stage was this swamp buggy. We aren’t sure it is really driven but the tires were about my height.

The weather was lovely today. It was nice not to do major boat stuff; although Kelley continues to putter. He did replace the lock on the door that has been broken on the boat for about 4 years and we dropped all of the anchor chain and he washed it. As I write he is opening hatches and looking to see what is in them. Soon he will know every inch of this boat, just like he did on Full House.
