Our scavenger hunt in downtown Fort Myers was my favorite class trip because of the competition aspects and group participation. The goal of the trip was to become familiar with our urban environment. The scavenger hunt did raise awareness of the opportunities in the area so I am much more likely to return to those familiar places. Places that had peaked my interests. I now know where the Harbor side Event Center is now and I could see myself returning there and possibly to some restaurants in downtown as well. The solar powered parking technology was a nice touch to the trip since it incorporated a small savings on energy demand from inside the city. I noticed that there were nice plants along the river and around select buildings though I did not see too many native plants. I will also consider using the boat ramp and dock we visited again. I was impressed on how many businesses were located in such close proximity to each other. Parking is a downfall to concentrated urban areas since there are meters, garage fees, and I witnessed a meter maid issuing a ticket for an expired meter. Overall the area did provide a fun experience, interesting historical value, and now I have another option to show visitors around when they come to visit. I also plan on returning to check out the night life on a day I need to entertain some guests or if I’m looking for some entertainment.
