Journal Entry #15




The only times that I’ve ever been to Downtown Fort Myers was to visit my favorite antique store and rummage through all of the treasures. I was extremely excited about this field trip because for once we wouldn’t have to listen to an over energized tour guide lecture about the environment. I was also quite excited to see what this scavenger hunt was all about.

 
Upon arriving we were given our rules and questions and sent in our respected directions. I love downtown areas with their hidden histories, brick roads and abundant amount of art galleries. Not being accustomed to the downtown area we were completely flustered when we had to start searching for our clues. When we went towards the port we unexpectedly came across the Olympic Museum which I found to be extremely interesting since watching the Olympics is one of my favorite things to do!

For our lunch break we ate at the Red Rock Saloon, which is now going to be our next stop when we head downtown. The atmosphere and culture in downtown areas intrigue me so much. I love how everyone knew every shop and also others in the area. This field trip showed me and my group all the different bars, galleries and cool shops that inhabit the downtown area. Even though I’m only going to be living on the west coast for my college career, I want to make the best of this area by visiting and experiencing every part of the area.
