 Home of the Florida Everblades - Germain Arena - Estero FloridaThe fun part:  I finally made it to a Florida Everblades game this season.  Unfortunately, they lost 2-5 against the Pensacola Ice Pilots.  Better luck next time 'Blades.  I had a blast, none the less.  The mayor of "Everblades City", Bob Tomasso, was in attendance with his lovely wife Robin.  Their legion of fans stops in to see them at every intermission.  It's almost like a receiving line at a wedding.  Long story short I didn't make it home until almost 2:00 AM, and with the time change I feel like I was run over by a car.  That was way past my bed time.  I'm on a early to bed schedule training for the 5K race at Coconut Point Mall next week.  I sent a friend up to take a photo from the top of the arena.  I think my kne...

Click here to Search Estero Homes  History of Estero, Fort Myers, Florida Estero's exciting history is made up of Native Americans, Spanish Explorers, pirates and an interesting religious sect known as the Koreshans. The land now called Estero was originally home to the Caloosa Indians, who inhabited many of the islands and estuaries along the west coast of Florida. These peaceful Native Americans farmed and fished the fresh water tributaries. Spanish explorers named the region Estero, the Spanish word for estuary.  Ponce de Leon may have come to Estero when he explored areas along Southwest Florida's Gulf coast in 1513 & 1521. DeSoto may also have sailed the waters around Estero in 1513.  During the last half of the 1700s, the area was a base of operations for bands of pirates raiding ...
