Harry biked down to Otter Mound Preserve at the diagonal opposite end of the Island today.  ​

Expecting to see something related to Otter’s, he was humorously surprised to discover that the Otter in the name referred to Mr. Ernest Otter, the owner of the property who in 1955 built shell terracing to allow him to build a garden.  It was a nice 9 mile round trip ride through less busy streets.

Marsha on the other hand did very little so that she could rest her left knee that has been less than cooperative lately.   So she spent some quality time in and around the pool.
 
Last year on Valentine’s Day we had dinner at the Rumba Cuban Café in Naples.  So this year with the thaw in relations between the US and Cuba, we decided to try to repeat the experience with Cuban had dinner at Fernandez the Bull Cuban Café & Bar, also in Naples..  We passed on the special bright pink Valentine’s Day cocktail and opted for the Margaritas instead.   Half way through dinner, a waitress came to our table with two more Margaritas.  Apparently we had arrived before the end of Happy Hour and qualified for two drinks for the price of one.  Makes up for the feeling that the drinks had more lime Margarita mix, and less Tequila than necessary.

Of the two, we thought that although the food was excellent at Fernandez, the Rumba was even better and certainly more authentic -- much less modern and more crowded -- earning it the Tripadvisor top restaurant in Naples.
