❤️ Naples Pier

The Naples Pier, a 1,000-foot-long boardwalk that has been a landmark of Collier County for more than a century, sustained significant damages when Hurricane Ian struck Southwest Florida in September.

We 'e kicking off our fifth season of food & history tours by exploring the charm & deliciousness of historic downtown

A particularly sweet thank you goes to Steven & Cheryl Dyer, owners of Chartreuse Lounge, for opening their space and their dreams for us! Their recent hurricane fundraiser benefited an employee who's home and car were lost to the storm. Before their own business could finish repairs from the diabolical surge, they ripped out the floor and walls and invited supporters in to raise relief funds. Attendees wrote dated messages to Hurricane Ian and signed their names on the bared under-flooring. What an awesome time capsule created for future renovators! Heart and style to be admired, for sure.

Behind their building, a massive oak spreads its canopy. Branches hold old, old resurrection fern that revives itself over and over, no matter the stressors. Just like 💪🏽

It's always a delight to visit ! This time, a quick read through a really old cookbook shows the good humor of early residents.

We'll be on our inaugural food & history tour in historic downtown Bonita Springs this Thursday. Join us!

We are eager to return to the glam & magnetic fun of our Naples Culinary Walks in downtown .

Recovery from Hurricane Ian is ongoing. So much inspiration is had from restaurants' Herculean efforts to return to normal operations. They need hands on care & financial support.

Here's one of our favorite places. You can donate in their time of need:

The reassuring Natural Order:

SWFL Eagle Cam hosted for 11 years by dickpritchettrealestate.com sees the mated American eagles return at the start of their Oct through May presence in North Fort Myers, FL. Their nest was decimated by the hurricane, but over about ten days, they will have completely rebuilt.

Our people will do the same!

In the chaos, a sign to clean up and go on...

Hurricane Ian broke in with 4' surge, rampaging, winds trashing the building, breaking all of the furniture. Yet this single table stayed perfectly set, coated in smooth sand, as if awaiting its next customers.

May you find comfort in your supporters near and far, Dan, Mike, & family, who send you their wishes for strength in your recovery.

Evolution of food & drink advertising:

See “Coca-Cola” for blocks, white paint on a brick wall -> See Citrus & Nuts for miles, on freeway billboards -> See “yadda-yadda SQUIRREL! ( link)” from space, on Siri.

Getting with the program ! In 2004, Poulain & Pes, academics in Sardinia, published their study’s findings on longevity. Later, Dan Buettner et al in Hawaii coined “ blue zones” by making blue circles on a map, representing areas where people had exceptionally long life. c2014, NCH adopted Blue Zones’ principles in order to lead people toward wellness by finding one’s purpose, building social connection, improving finances, engaging in one’s community, and committing to physical activity.

Naples Culinary Walks became certified in 2019. We WALK & thrive, enjoying each other, beautiful SW Florida, and fantastic food.

NCH has a little known culinary asset in its certified cafeteria. Sodexo GM Carlos Marrero and Chef Robens display some attractive and fresh, fresh fare. Naples Culinary Walks looks forward to including the NCH wellness kitchen on our tour for Season 2022-23. Join us, October through May 👋

A compelling binge - 8 episodes on Hulu, “The Bear” displays the chaos and uncertainty of small restaurant business. Pay attention, especially, to Episode 7. It was done in one frenetic, 20 minute take, and may leave you emotionally spent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gather ‘round to hear about human detente with local 🇨🇦 wildlife. To help the many mountain critters living near people, Canada’s National Park built 6 highway crossings and about 20 tunnels where animals’ paths were already known. But now there is a big bad wolf problem. The clever canines have learned to wait by the crossings so that they can lazily select an entree. When two grizzlies moved to downtown Jasper, well, there went the neighborhood. The bears were relocated deep in the wilderness. It’s possible that the smart wolves may be trapped and asked to do their own tuck & roll like the grizzlies, just farther into the woods.
Meanwhile, the cute & clever chipmunks have worn out their welcome on visiting tour buses. It had been a practice of drivers to leave their doors open during Banff visits. But the chipmunks read that as open house, so they scooted in to look for crumbs. That meant many passenger freakouts happened - seat jumping & skirt lifting & all - when the stowaway chipmunks reappeared as the buses moved down the highway - Bus doors in the parking lots are now closed, essentially pulling up the welcome mats for rhodents. O, what will be next?

🎼If you go down to the woods today… it’s a Bear Picnic!”. Thank you, bus buddy, for capturing the moment after my phone died. The brown bear was turning rocks and raking berry bushes on his night out for dinner. of 🍁

Every explorer needs fire in the belly! A modest picnic - complete with ants - readied the intrepid travelers. glacier
