Matlacha A Feast For The Eyes

January 20. 2017

We took a day trip to Matlacha, Pine Island, FL (pronounced Mat - la - shay) with friends Captain Jack and Jane, from Dixie, and had a wonderful day.  Matlacha is on Pine Island which is about 20 miles from Ft Myers Municipal Marina.  

This house is for sale - can I buy it?

Captain Jack, Jane and I are ready to see  Matlacha shops and restaurants, birds and seaside.

Captain Jack ready for a boat tour.

Something to do with all those coconuts - postcards that can actually be mailed.

Leoma Lovegrove's art gallery ready for a tour.  What a feast for the eyes!  Such bright colors.  No photos can be taken inside the gallery, but we took lots in the outside garden.  So pretty. 

Hard to see on my t-shirt, look close and see the sailboats, is from Art Fest 2016. Leoma Lovegrove's design is on the shirt.

 The Beatles Outdoor Garden and Stage.

Bottles in blue

 Scenic boat canals.

A working boat.

Hoping for a handout.

Looks like a three point landing.

We had lunch at Bert's, then went across the street to the t-shirt gift shop.

Boat music for lunchtime listening.

 What a fun day we had in Matlacha.
