Downtown Fort Myers was a bitter sweet place for me. I was anticipating the trip, but when we pulled into the cemetery it started to rain! It was difficult to hear Dr. Snapp and Professor Davis speaking, but for me to actually be there and see the graves of the Fort Myers founders was awesome. 
I had never been in the downtown Fort Myers area before so it was interesting to see some of the sites in our area that people are attracted to. Seeing the bank, art center, monuments, yacht docks, mangroves on the water, theatre, post office arcade and Hotel Indigo were so interesting. Also, the courthouse looked amazing. The structure and history behind it gives it its character.
I actually encouraged my roommate to come with me to take a stroll in the downtown area. We went to that little pizza shop and enjoyed some of the history behind the area. She actually loved the area since she is pursuing a career in art.
The only things I didn't like about the trip was the weather. It put a damper on the mood, but luckily I had brought my umbrella!
