Overall, my opinion of the estero island field trip was positive. While I was honestly bored while we were in the cottage and listening to the woman speak about the history of Matanzas pass, it was a nice walk once we started going. Apart from all of the killer mosquitos, it was generally a great walk. As usual, it was fun to be able to taste the different plants that were around due to Dr. Durham's extensive knowledge of local vegetation. The sights that stoof out the most was the beautiful bay area at the end of the walk. I took a bunch of pictures of the beautiful water. I also enjoyed the taste of the salty leaves that we tried on the walk.
I know that personally, my childhood hometown of north fort myers has changed drastically. Just in the last 10 years, there have been many developments created on woodlands that I used to explore as a child. I personally do not feel as much of a sense of "community" as I once did in North Fort Myers just because in my old neighborhood, most of the families have moved out and been replaced with older couples who are not involved with others around them. The sense of community is definitely the thing I miss most about my childhood. As far as the selling of my childhood homes goes, I unfortunately would most likely sell my home for 300% of it's market value just because I could definitely use the money. If the county approached me and wanted to buy my home for only 80% of it's value for the 20/20 program, I would probably say no because I wouldn't want to lose money on the land.
