Here & There

By UncagedKiwi

Naples

Naples - Florida, that is, not Italy. Though there is a very strong Italian influence here in the restaurants up and down the main street. Is that a coincidence or a connection I wonder? 
Interesting place, full of retirees, flash cars and houses (lots that appear to be absolutely enormous), golf courses and country clubs.
Our last night here so we treated ourselves to a nice meal out, D had a New York strip steak and I had clams with linguine, and a bottle of superb Zinfandel. The trend here is to have some form of happy hour for eating as well as drinks - the restaurant we chose offered half price everything provided the order was in by 7pm, making it more affordable. A great finish to the day.
Our drive through route 41 was unremarkable, as we knew from the previous time, still much of the area is closed due to hurricane damage.
The photo .... I tried to avoid the usual cliches of alligators, white herons, turkey vultures etc, so this is a flycatcher of some sort (I think?). Any help on ID would be appreciated.
