Default Yep it's a little more crowded

in The Bird Season. But honestly it's no big deal compared to nearly any other place I have lived.

Traffic is a piece of cake. There are lots of complaints about the rotaries but they are very good at moving traffic. If you have any doubt about how well they work just drive on Morse North of 466 where there are conventional intersections with traffic lights. They slow you down but even that isn't much. Golf carts reduce the congestion considerably. Just go to the squares at night and see how many carts are parked where one car would fit.

The weekends at resturaunts are more crowded than mid week. Hard to understand but all us retired people seem to make plans for weekends just like in the days when we worked. I don't get that...every night is Saturday night so just plan a Tuesday night out. Or better yet a Mid week Lunch. Still the wait usually isn't all that big a deal if you have to go out on the weekend.

My sister lives in Naples. Talk about crowds yikes. Other friends have settled in Ft. Meyers, Venice and Vero all way more crowded than here.

Of course this horendous crowd thing NOT goes away after The Bird Season next month.
