Oh my gosh. I know exactly what you are talking about! Did you hear that the Pine Island bridge is also out? And Lovers Key..... So hope we can someday shell there. Stunned about Sanibel. It is my place. I enjoy my beach walks and shelling especially on Bowmans. Now I’m wondering what the shoreline is going look like.
You know, I realize this is the internet and all that entails, but when this is over we should meet up at Parrot Key for a drink to celebrate life!
When we came down in June the main walkway at lover’s key was being worked on; I’d imagine both are down now. Lover’s key is my happy place, and the place where someday my ashes (along with my angel fur babies) will be. Our daughter was married at Bowditch. So many memories; to be honest today I feel as if I lost my best friend. Our home was on Linda Loma.
I love Parrots Key, also the place next door (which has changed names at least 3 times that I know of over the years, now think it’s Shrimp Basket). We currently RV (the way my husband bought me off to move lol) and stayed at Ebb Tide/Oyster Bay across the street from Parrots. The park was for sale, so I doubt the owner will rebuild it. We were supposed to return next June, with the goal of finding a mobile home for vacations near Iona. We had seen a few on Zillow but wanted to see in person. We definitely need to get together when we come down. Please feel free to message me.
