I had a great time on the field trip, despite the hour and a half bus ride there! I really enjoyed the speaker before and thought she was very interesting. It was a beautiful day outside and it was really nice to walk the trail.

This field trip was a lot of fun besides the long bus ride. I found the speaker very interesting and loved learning about all the history she told us. I really enjoyed being able to walk on our own with our groups.

I really enjoined the field trip to the Estero Island Historic Cottage.  I learned a lot about Florida's history and native areas.  It is crazy to think that in such a short period of time, an area can change as vastly as Ft. Myers has, including the rapid increase of population.  It put into perspective the amount of changes we are doing to our local environment throughout the matter of someones lifetime.
