Beautiful Florida

I have always loved Florida despite the stereotyped image of over-crowded, developed beaches. If you look hard enough you can still enjoy the native beauty of the place. I just ran into a friend who had recently returned from a vacation on Captiva Island on the southwestern coast of Florida. She had nothing but great things to report, so I thought I would pass it on. The island has no big hotels or developments. Rather it offers old-fashioned cottages on the beach. There is great shelling, kayaking, canoeing, biking, dolphin watching, and dining. Google it up and see what you think. I am going to keep it in mind for next time I feel like heading south. Tamar
