Field Trip to Fort Myers River District

As a born and raised citizen of Fort Myers I was embarrassed that I did not know things that were brought to conversation the other day. I knew things like Thomas Edison's want for bamboo and that Firestone was looking for rubber trees, but i was unaware of the type of Indians that were there and that the city was actually part of the union (Civil War). The trip turned out to be the most knowledgeable of all of are trips because it was my home. The entire trip was very educational and I loved learning about the past. It could not have ended any better than with the mural we saw. I was amazed by the artwork, and was in disbelief that I had not know about it. Great Trip!
