Once again I had to visit a park due to Colloquium (FGCU-mandatory class). I do not intend to return to this park. Last Tuesday we visited Matanzas Pass Preserve.
Once again our guide talked too much. The nature trail was not impressive at all; specially, when compared to Corckscrew's sanctuary. I was still on the look out for a rattle snake but was not able to spot any. We saw mangroves. I think mangroves are better appreciated when kayaking by them.
It was really hot and I decided to stay away from the group, partly to avoid the heat, partly to avoid the mosquitoes and partly to avoid the very, very talkative guide.
At the beginning of the tour we were greeted by one of the island first inhabitants. She was a sweet, wise, lady. That welcomed us into a historic cabin and offered us cookies and lemonade. This lady had a genuine love for the island and was very knowledgeable of its history. I am glad I had the chance of meeting her and listening to her. If it were up to me I would end the visit after her talk.
