Lunch at the Havana Café in Chokoloskee Monday, December 13
Forty intrepid travelers participated in a unique “boatless” day cruise by car to the Havana Café in Chokoloskee. This incredible restaurant offered beautiful garden seating, authentic home baked Cuban bread and an accommodating staff. The menu offered a refreshing variety of Cuban inspired food, stone crab enchiladas, seafood and more. Chokoloskee is about ten minutes south of Everglades City and attendees had viewing opportunities of birds and alligators on the way. After lunch, a visit to the Smallwood Store and Museum, an exceptional slice of Florida history overlooking Chokoloskee Bay, was filled with fascinating discoveries! Did you know that the wooden counters slanted in at the floor to accommodate hoop skirts? And the first Coke machine came to town in 1945 at the Store which had the only electricity for 30 miles. Today visitors from around the world visit to go back in time while others fish from the back dock and launch kayaks into the Ten Thousand Islands.
