Walking to Old Key West

Apple Maps screen shot
Maps apps generally do not direct you through business communities. So i had to wait until entering ‘Property’ before Maps would even hint at accurate walking directions.

Disney Institute facilitator reunion planned a few weeks ago for today, December 26, 2025.

Decided to walk.

Olivia’s is around seven miles from home.

Captiva Day 4, body

Walked the middle two days. Arrival and departure days didn’t offer extended beach and island walking.

Best laid plans…

Will start a pre-dawn walk before we load the car this morning and then proceed to breakfast on Sanibel Island as we drive home, i thought last night.

We did have a nice, leisurely morning and still pulled away from ‘Tween Waters by 8:00 AM.

No guilt, even though initially guilt was tempting.

Captiva Day 3, body

Can you say, “happy present moment?”
four colorful beach chairs
Everything about this spells “BEACH”. It can also spell, “FLORIDA”.
The shadow from a small seashell… stunning in its size, considering it’s flat on the ground.

Another day on the calendar.

Another day at the beach.

Another day to enjoy and appreciate.
