Down Town Ft. Myers
I love history and this trip to down town Ft. Myers was super fun and interesting! It was great to see all of the old buildings and think about what it must have looked like twenty to thirty years ago. The museum was beautiful and all of the information was new to me. I enjoyed looking at the fish and thinking about all of the creatures that may have swam by that very spot so long ago. I was amazed at the size of some of the animals that were in the museum. I did not realize that rodents had ever been that big. The water table that showed the rise and fall of the water levels of Florida was very clever. I really enjoyed learning about all of the native americans and their culture. I wonder if they were here now, what they would they think about us and the way we live. My favorite part of course was the iron lung and all of the old EMT equipment. There were even old intubation starter kits and it amazed me that even then they were doing complex medical procedures. I adore science and mostly all things medical. The view from the top of the hotel was breathtaking and the whole trip made me feel a sense of pride for living in this area. I feel like through this course, I have connected a bit with my life in Florida. I still can't wait to leave, but it does make me proud to know that there is a history and a meaningful past here, and I am glad to be a part of it.
