Frankly it would be a difficult task indeed to disagree with the saying that Fort Myers has the world‘s most beautiful main street. With the sun aâ€"shining above, the fi:odominem-P of white buildings, e beautifully decorated business store windows, the entire absence of even an empty cigarette packâ€" age on the clean as a whistle street and the white lines for pedestrian crossings were delightâ€" ful scenes alone. But oh! The unâ€" broken avenue of stately palmsâ€" the grey shadows such cast on the smooth as velvet road and the flowers made this Westonian well nigh ep in utter amazement." This grang and grx(*ous city in the tropics ig‘ brimful of flowers that literally/amaze even the travelled tourist. Woy, example here to greet this eyclisb were rows of bougainâ€" villa, habiscus, royal poinciana, oleanders, Brazilian pepper trees and species of varied palms by the dozens. What a heavenâ€"like city to live inâ€"one of the world‘s sunniest at that. Before bidding farewell to this beautiful spot TN took unto himâ€" self a full course chicken dinner. No! It was not a sloppedâ€"up affair but very daintily served and supremely cooked. Total cost T5e.

Why * You ask. Wild life and insects would no doubt welcome the spectacle of this Westonian columnist in bare legs, neck and arms. On his left for well over 120 miles is the canal, frankly it‘s a river! Tropical plants, bushes and trees mount its banks. There were the ducks by the hundreds. Some would start off on spotting this odd looking party on a bike, as would a seaplane. Other ducks would dive and disappear.

Happy |as a kid with a candy. Memories of, | let him say, a day wall spent | amongst the birds and all, he came {in joyful mood to South Miami. And close to TN as he travelled along were the jungle homes of the deer, wild cat, panther, raccoon, opossum â€" and alligator.
