I cannot imagine having to build a road by myself now, but to build one way back when without any real technology blows my mind. The road that you take through the trail was built by one man and it took him about four years, two to go one way and two to come back. Right at the beginning the tour guide pointed out the millions of little crabs that were sitting up by the mangroves. I saw all sorts of the little creatures, crabs, plenty of fish, birds, and even where a turtle lived. I had never been to Sanibel so I was amazed at how beautiful and reserved it was. Our tour guide was great; she gave us lots of information and related a lot of things to other states because most of the people on the tour with us were from out of state. She would stop whenever we had a question and made sure everyone had a chance to see everything she pointed out. I found it interesting about the birds that would set up their nests at the tops of the trees. They do this because they need a three hundred and sixty degree view of their surroundings. I did find it kind of strange that there are so many residential houses close by. At certain points toward the end I could see into people’s back yards. I do not know how pleasant that would be if that was my house, and I think it actually drew people away from the tour because I heard others on the tour talking about the houses as well.
