| In early October 2003 we exchanged our Marriott Desert Springs timeshare for the Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island in southwestern Florida. Sanibel is known for the great shell-collecting on its beaches, and the miles of paved bike paths throughout the island. | ||

| The resort is located on the south-facing beach near the eastern end of the island. | This view of the resort entrance driveway shows the profusion of flowers blooming even late in the year. | |

The resort grounds were lushly landscaped, and were a great spot for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. |
Here are a cormorant and turtle enjoying some sun (or maybe they're admiring their reflections in the calm water). | |

| Hammocks are always enjoyable, but Chris was a little concerned about how close to the ground this particular hammock hung... | ... because of the resident gator swimming around the little island where the hammock was located. |
