Koreshan Historic Site State Park has a great campground, but I have to say that the sites are just a wee bit tight. I got to experience two different sites because I didn’t book far enough out. However, I was pleased that I was able to book two different sites that kept me in the park for six nights.
The first site, was exceptionally close, but it only took me one pass to get backed in. I was so proud of myself that I had to document it.
There wasn’t much room side-to-side, either.
But, I did it!
The wonderful thing about traveling around the country is getting to meet up with people along the way. While I was staying at Koreshan Historic Site State Park, I got to spend some time with my cousin, Coral Lee.
Coral Lee is a daughter of my mother’s cousin, Gordy. If I have read the charts properly, that makes her my second cousin. If not, maybe someone will correct me.
Coral Lee lives in Cape Coral. She was eager to meet my sweet cat, Cora. This all made me smile.
She met me at the park and took me to a favorite restaurant of hers. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of it, but I finally tried fish tacos. For some reason, fish tacos always sounded like an odd dish. Now I can say that I have had fish tacos, but I would probably order my fish prepared a different way in the future.
She showed me her lovely house with a pool cage. I guess you need a cage when there is a possibility of alligators. I also met her sweet kitties.
Another thing I did was go to Bonita Springs Beach to enjoy a sunset.
Is there anything more glorious?
I don’t think so.
And when the sun finally sank in the west, everyone stood up and applauded!
I could sure get used to this!
Another day, Coral Lee came and got me for a trip to Sanibel Island. I had always heard about the beauty of the island. It has a reputation for being a great site for collecting shells, and I was really eager to see it.
Coral Lee treated me to lunch at Over Easy Cafe, which was recommended to me by a Facebook friend. I had hoped to meet up with her, but she was completely booked while I was in the area. There is always next time.
Lunch was delicious and Coral Lee treated me as an early birthday gift. I was delighted to have the celebrations starting already. After lunch, we headed to the beach.
In spite of the blue skies inland, there was fog at the beach.
We walked the beach for a bit. I was a bit disappointed by the shells that were there to be found.
Someone had found shells earlier, though, and had left a nice little work of art.
Coral Lee took me back to the campground. It was so good to meet up with her! I hope I make it back that way again.
Before I hitched up and pulled out for Key West, I needed to catch one more sunset at Bonita Springs Beach.
The world is a beautiful place! I can’t believe how lucky I am.
