One more thing about SW Florida VS SE Florida, With the exception of The Mai Kai, for some reason I find it more exotic to sip my rums someplace where there is still a decent chance of being eaten by an alligator or a panther.

OK so I just got back from Ft Meyers, Sanibel, Matlacha, Captiva and Pine Island. Home to among other things Momma Hodaddy, lots of tikis and some suprising mid century structures. Here's some pics from our trip.

A warm Matlacha welcome from Cotton, our friend Pammy's poofy dog.

Cotton confounded by an actual cotton version of himself.

Pammy's a real life cowgirl and had just found this ultra mint condition cowboy-modern table set!

The seatbacks are shadowboxed and the flowers handpainted. Yee Haw!

Keep your eye's open on the way to Ft Meyers beach. This place had another room full of floats corks and schooner pullys.

This place had loads of fun stuff.

Groovy.

Don't forget to check in the corners! Should have bought this picture vinyl gem.

The place for fresh fish & tikis on Pine Island! Amazing. $12 cracked Conch steak! Mmmmmmmm.






This fella reminds me of somebody from Shelter Island! lol!


Tiki pilings outside, some of the best nautical & marine life antiques inside!





Rita Pammy & I lunching with the folks.
