Shhh don't tell everyone ....but my favorite place to get a yummy bagel is Ric's New York Style Bakery & Deli on 694 9th Street North in Naples Florida 34102 ( Corner of 7th Ave and Rt 41 aka 9th st N)
Outside seating at Ric's
My personal favorite is a salt bagel with veggie cream cheese for $2.58. They are very generous with the cream cheese and the bagels are water boiled. I also have a soft spot for the Everything Bagel. Now not only does Ric's have fantastic bagels but they have bagel egg sandwiches . The prices are great in these tough times! This is a popular item with many patrons. If you're thirsty they have coffee, chillers, cappuccino, soda etc or pour yourself a cup of the ice water ever present on the counter (free) . Sit inside or out...
Egg on a Bagel $2.99 Egg/cheese/ bagel $3.49.
Ric's offers Free Delivery Mon- Friday from 10 a.m - 2 p.m. ( place your orders before 10 a.m)
They are open 7 days a week and the phone number is 239 434 5999.
If you like soup, salads, wraps, panini sandwiches, NY Deli style, and local favorites check out Ric's and support a local business. YUM

Well even though it is going to be in the 40's tonight ( a record in some places for this time of year in Florida) the ICE I'm talking about will be found indoors. I just received an email reminding me that the ICE is on the way. Now the photos give you an idea of what it's like but remember they are all hand carved so don't worry your sure to see something just as spectacular but different!
ICE 2008
The hand carved ICE will be arriving November 17th and will be here in Florida until January 4, 2009. It is part of the Orlando Gaylord Palms Resort "Best of Florida Christmas Celebration". There are almost 2 million pounds of carved ice to admire, slide on, skate on, and enjoy. Bring your mittens, camera, and don't worry the resort supplies a coat! You can buy your tickets online and go for a few hours or stay at te resort for a few nights. After you come out I highly recommend the slightly spiked adult hot cocoa that you can purchase...
Inside the Gaylord Palms Resort 
Last year my husband and I stayed overnight and had a great time! We felt like a couple of kids and even made a gingerbread house! Ok so the coats are kind of Willy Wonka but that's part of the charm.

Not only do I live in Naples as a full time resident but I absolutely love it! It is such a fantastic place to live and work that I have to share a little bit about the area. First and foremost you should know I work for John R. Wood Realtors on Fifth Avenue here in Naples. John R. Wood Realtors is a locally and family owned business that has operated here in Naples for 50 years! We are known for our " Legendary Service", Luxury Properties and Professionalism. Presently we lead the Naples Area in closed sales for 2008. We are getting it done!
Beach at Park Shore
Naples is located in Southwest Florida along the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. We are about 45 minutes ( depending on the traffic) from Southwest Florida International Airport in Ft. Myers. Naples is located in Collier County and we have a population of about 20,000 people. Naples is about 3 hours from Orlando and about 100 miles from Ft. Lauderdale.
Often referred to as a " tropical paradise", Naples average temperature is about 77 degrees. Our Gulf waters average 80 degrees from June to September and mid 60's is average for January through March. We have higher humidity and more rain during the summer months but you can almost always find a balmy breeze!
Saint William Catholic Church
Because of it's tropical climate Naples has become famous for it's golf. We have plenty of pro's and you can see some of them in the Champions Tour Ace Classic or at The Shark Shootout hosted by Greg Norman. There are many great golf communities with all types of golf priviledges. Some opt for equity ownership in a private club others prefer a home with monthly fees and bundled golf; allowing them to play frequently. Either way we have plenty of golf here if that is your passion!
Another popular attraction is the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you like sunsets, walking on the beach, swimming, fishing, boating, water views, or just putting your toes in the soft white sand Naples is the place The beach is probably one of the largest attractions and we have many options for you. Some of our larger more popular beaches include Vanderbilt Beach and Lowdermilk Park. There are many beach options at the end of each avenue in Olde Naples. Residents get a beach sticker that allows them to use any beach in Naples, the City of Naples and Marco. Visitors can obtain a visitor pass or bring your quarters and use the meters.
Vanderbilt Beach
I always enjoy the beach! Here is a photo of my Mom and I doing some beach time.
Sunset Naples
Another popular past time in Naples is shopping. There are several hot spots for shopping in Naples. Perhaps one of the most famous is Fifth Avenue South in Olde Naples. This is considered downtown Naples and is host to many of Naples most popular restaurants, boutiques, gift stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores, and art galleries. There is a strong presence from both the financial and real estate industries on Fifth as well. Of course I have to point out that my office is located on Fifth.... Fifth Avenue also hosts numerous activities one being the Evening on Fifth with extended store hours, live local entertainment, great people and delicious food and drink from area establishments. There is always something to do on Fifth Avenue!
