Fort Myers for a day

Big Blue needed some light maintenance work - so we were up early to drive 'him' to Fort Myers

while we waited, we took a drive to the beach

Since Hurricane Ian - a lot of cleared lots, access to the beach is precarious

most of the buildings are either being demolished (most) or some are trying to rebuild

a lot of rubble still exists and many many many for sale signs (very expensive lots $2M for small)

a handful of food trucks are making a living - the beach goers are helping them survive

I think most don't have electricity, as very few buildings seem inhabitable

it's sad - but they are working on rebuilding.  It will just take a while

some boats are still abandoned - probably not worth the insurance companies time

Hoping this is a one and done event for the area
