Summer is Over

Yes, summer is over and there is big time Red Tide down at the beach here. That means algae blooms and kills thousands of fish. Kind messes up the beach, and clears out most everyone. On the first few days it actually doesn't smell that bad. But it can gag you deep in your throat - with something you can't really smell. Later, the fish start smelling - BUT - this is Naples, and the city and county workers come down to the beach and quickly clean up the mess.

Before it got too bad, Adriana and Rachel took a swim and had lots of fun. This was from 9/11 at 12:09 PM (digital cameras are something).

The benefit of the end of Summer is that winter is on the way, and that means wonderful weather for us here. Of course with that come the snow birds, or Qtips, as Dale calls them.

The beach is normally really great - help me out here, Debbie (right)? So, come visit and we'll make sure you leave with a tan.
