Sightseeing in Naples (Florida, that is)!

March 13th, 2009

Local architecture! If it looks like a drive by-photograph, it probably is. Despite the fact that 90 year old people are out here driving, the roads are all like crazy mini-highways and stopping is impossible. Miami is really where we should be for architecture, but beggars can’t be choosers and besides, the Gulf side has all the good weather. So there.

Most of the architecture is pseudo Mexican or something colourful, but we like the older white buildings.

It is very trendy in Florida to display your personal opinions on the back of your car, the people in this car from what we could see were very trendy.
