Our field trip last week out to Ft. Myers Beach was very informative. The stories that she was telling about how she grew up and what it was like on the island were extremely interesting. I had no idea that there was a threat of German U-boats out in the Gulf. I could only wish that the inner-coastal water ways were as clean and clear as they once were when she was a little girl growing up. It is such a beautiful wildlife out on the beach but there is so little of it left. Hearing her stories of the clean and free spaces makes me want to try and do more to clean up our community.

Even though it took us an hour to get to Estero Island Historic Cottage I learned a lot about the beach front cottage housed. How it started in 1991 by a group of island residents who wanted to preserve the history of their island community. It survived countless storms, hurricanes, and it was kindergarten school. Our information guide was an older woman that was very nice and gave us cookies and lemonade. The Matanzas Pass Trail was very enjoyable I saw many different types of plant life. It was a good field trip. - Yissel Ortega
The last field trip was interesting. I enjoyed learning some of the history of south west Florida from someone who has lived through so much. I enjoyed walking the trail, however I would have liked to seen some animals. - Lauren - Tozzi
Last class was pretty cool except for that much too long bus ride. It was very interesting listening to that lady talk about the history of the area. You can tell in her voice that she really enjoys talking about her experiences. She brought up many things that I did not know and kept my attention throughout the field trip. I wish that there was more to see along the nature trail, and no animals like manatees came out which was a bummer. Also that sea grape jelly was very good, much better than expected- John DeBlasio
