Downtown Fort Myers River District

I had a lot of fun on the Downtown Fort Myers River District field trip. I have been living in Estero for three years now and have never taken the time to go up there. Little did I know, there is a lot of history in Fort Myers. I went there with my boyfriend. We had dinner at Ichiban and then did the scavenger hunt afterward. I had no idea there was so many things to do there. It is a very lively part of town on the weekends with lots of live music and places to eat and drink. It did take us a lot longer than expected, but we both got really into it and had a lot of fun. It started to rain quite heavily about an hour and a half into the hunt. We went inside some of the shops until the rain let up a little. By the time it did it was getting pretty dark so it took us even longer to find what we were looking for. We did the best we could and learned a lot about the area while doing so. My favorite building we went into was the Arcade Theatre. I had a good feeling while walking around in there, you could almost feel the history, kindve like being in an old antique shop. We didn't take any pictures because we were too busy looking for the items on the list and I'm kind of bummed about that. Some of the old buildings, like the old courthouse, look  to be in really good shape still. They are very pretty with lots of detail and hard work put into building them.
