A new experience every time.

The bus ride was normal as usual; long, but it's a bus ride what do you expect??

Mrs. Jo Hughes?? (hopefully that's her name, please excuse my mistake, I've been wrong before so who knows. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Anyways, Mrs. Jo gave us food, which is the #1 interest of college students everywhere.... talk about world corruption, or zombies.... Our attention is on you 100% after you feed us and win us over....

This sweet lady showed us pictures of the destruction, but the creation of the island from the hurricane.

She was an extremely bright individual, knowing more than I'm sure all of us present combined.
Look at how cute she is!! :-)

Anyways, after she spoke about Fort Myers Beach's history and some of the history of her friends from the island we were allowed to explore the nature trails.
Oh joy.

Since I was running a bit late to begin with to get to the bus, I had to use the restroom....
I found a collection of bug spray in the window.

(Mrs. Jo wasn't kidding when she said they had a mosquito problem there....)

Have your pick!!

As I was snapping photos of the mosuito spray in the bathroom the group decided it best to leave without me.... (and a few other students)

I later realized that it wasn't just me he had left without, I guess this was a nature walk better done on your own.

So a fellow student, Dan and I walked the nature trail and we used our superb tracking skills to find our way back to the group.

Ok, so it's not a human foot print....But we tried!

Well, those awesome tracking skills lead us to the opposite end of the preserve, and into a trailer park.
We basically rock.

Mrs. Jo gave us a small jar of Sea Grape Jelly, so we figured if we were lost for too long, we would be able to survive off that jar.... After that it would have to be every man/woman for him/herself.
We just started taking every right until we ended up at a path that had not been used by humans for quite some time..... So we figured we were definitely lost at that point.
So using my awesome video skills, we video taped us getting lost through senior citizens drinking wine out of a box and playing shuffle board in their trailer park.
Yes a trailer park.
