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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Look<\/a>
Look how close the rear bumper is to the tree!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There wasn’t much room side-to-side, either.<\/p>\n

\"Backing<\/a><\/p>\n

But, I did it!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/a>
Me and Coral Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Coral Lee lives in Cape Coral. She was eager to meet my sweet cat, Cora. This all made me smile.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Another thing I did was go to Bonita Springs Beach to enjoy a sunset.<\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there anything more glorious?<\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

And when the sun finally sank in the west, everyone stood up and applauded!<\/p>\n

\"Sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

I could sure get used to this!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Lunch<\/a>

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/a>

In spite of the blue skies inland, there was fog at the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/a>

We walked the beach for a bit. I was a bit disappointed by the shells that were there to be found.<\/p>\n

\"Sanibel<\/a>

Someone had found shells earlier, though, and had left a nice little work of art.<\/p>\n

\"Sanibel<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Before I hitched up and pulled out for Key West, I needed to catch one more sunset at Bonita Springs Beach.<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a><\/p>\n

The world is a beautiful place! I can’t believe how lucky I am.<\/p>\n
