on Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel with my inlaws, husband and then my children both before the bridge and after. Loved every minute: especially the shells, animals and birds. I was sorry that Sanibel was overbuilt but maybe this is a good time to keep both beaches as places for a limited number to visit them only for the joys of nature and never build back all those awful buildings and boats. Thank you for bringing hope despite the tears I have shed when I saw the pictures.
