At last, Sanibel Island, just north of Ft. Myers became our month-long stopping point. Sanibel is unique as its location is off the gulf coast of south central Florida, and its crescent shape makes for an ideal shelling site. The island boasts of having no stop lights, no structure over two stories tall, and less than
a handful of chain businesses. Here, in near perfect weather, Sola and I experienced 84 degree days, lunches and dinners by the
beaches, and explored bicycle trails throughout the island. A heavenly place.
An hour south of Sanibel, lies the trendy city of Naples. Here, hidden away in an industrial park, is one of the best racing auto collections in the world,
the Revs Institute. Cars that actually participated in iconic Le Mans, Formula 1 and other world renowned races held in the 30s through the 70s are viewable and usually touchable. The Porsche brand is heavily represented.
