Field Trip: Downtown Ft Myers


On our trip to downtown Ft Myers I learned a lot about the history of Ft. Myers and some of the famous people who lived there. For example, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford both had winter homes here. I enjoyed walking around downtown because it was so close to the Caloosahatchee River and I felt a breeze the whole time. While walking around I really enjoyed looking at the architecture. It had an old small town feel to it since many of the buildings have been kept the same. I also liked the small shops and cafes. After we walked around and learned all about the history we took some time to sit and look at the river. This was my favorite part of the whole trip because we were able to relax and just enjoy the scenery. I have never been downtown before so it was cool to see something new. Since the field trip I have been downtown again for the Boat show at the convention center. It was nice to spend more time down there knowing the information I had learned on the field trip. Overall I felt like this was a great field trip because we got to go to a cool place and learn about its history.
