I live in Naples and I can say without a doubt it's definitely boring as h**l. My daughter grew up here and fled to college up north to experience more of the world. I saw much of the world and lived all over the US when I was in the Army and buy is Naples quiet. I am glad it's safer than most cities but there's so little to do except go to the beach and zoo.
Shopping on 5th ave is too expensive and the mall gets old after a while. There are no nightclubs here and restaurants are filled with nothing but old couples and drunk widows at the bars in the restaurant.

Do you yearn for the exquisite silence of night paddling through a mysterious mangrove-fringed creek- Would you thrill to the sight of a thousand flying night mammals with 12-inch wingspans emerging from their hiding places before your very eyes- Then, for the experience of a lifetime, join up with a Florida master naturalist at Gaea Guides for one of their monthly two-hour bat tours on beautiful Judd Creek in North Fort Myers. The intimate tour also is available on the Imperial River in Bonita Springs.

The Shell Factory is the place to get all spiritual with your pampered pooch and his/her friends. Doggy church is held every Sunday at the North Fort Myers attraction at 12:30 p.m. in the dog park. After the service, your dog can take a splash in the doggy fountain, run the agility course or snack with you at the Dog Bone Caf. Except for the Nature Park, with its free-roaming critters, and the Fishbone Caf, the entire historic and quirky Old Florida attraction is dog-friendly. shellfactory.com,

"Be graced with the energies of the full moon we hope you will know Spirit in a way you haven't before." That's the compelling invitation to the monthly full moon drumming circles at Shangri- La Springs, the historic healing resort in the center of old Bonita Springs. You can bring your drum and join the circle, led by holistic practitioners Jeanie Williamson and Sayer Ji, or relax and listen beneath the great Mysore fig trees. It's free, every full moon from 6-9 p.m. shangrilaretreat.com,
I have lived in Naples FL for a long time and have seen our community grow from a fishing village to the wonderful city it now is. I have enjoyed the diversity that has become part of our every day life. As a teacher of religion I have come to respect the diversity of beliefs that have come to Naples. Most encouraging has been the acceptance non-Judeo-Christian belief systems.
