We’re glad we stayed at Everglades City, securely tied to
the dock. The storm rolled through
yesterday packing a pretty good punch and dumping a lot of rain. Our good friends Merrill and Janice offered
to pick us up and take us on a tour of Naples after the storm, we really
enjoyed visiting with them again and had a great time seeing the sites and
eating fresh seafood.
Of course we can’t pass up an opportunity to provision
our galley, and what a great place we found at Lucky’s Grocery in Naples. This has to be the best grocery store
ever! This store has the working man
(and retiree) in mind. They serve ice
cold beer that you can sip while enjoying your shopping experience.
My only suggestion would be to have someone
offer hot pepper cheese and cracker samples at the end of the isle ways.
On our way back to Everglades City today, we stopped at Joanie’s
Blue Crab Cafe, a unique little restaurant in Ochopee, FL. After our lunch, we stopped at the smallest
Post Office in the United States. It is a tiny shed on U.S. Route 41 near Ochopee, Fl. It is located about 3 miles east
of the intersection of US 41 and State
Road 29. The building used to be a storage facility
for irrigation pipes of an adjacent tomato farm. It was converted into a
post office in 1953, after a fire which destroyed Ochopee's previous post
office and general store. The post office is currently fully functional,
serving the surrounding populations of Miccosukee and Seminole Indians.
