Yesterday, Sarasota, Today, St. Petersburg

No internet access yesterday but we were in Sarasota. We stayed just outside the downtown area. Took a drive through the downtown and found a nice park on the water to have lunch at. We decided to continue on so this morning headed up through St. Petes Beach area and all the way up to Clearwater Beach. Continued over the bridge back to the mainland through Clearwater and into St. Petersburg. The day was mostly cloudy until almost suppertime, then the sun came out. We've hunkered down at a Comfort Inn for a couple of days, maybe a week and we'll check out this area. The weather doesn't sound great for the next 10 days, in fact, it sounds almost as warm back home! I can't believe we picked the coldest winter in years to have our winter here. But we haven't seen any snow since we've been here and there are still lots of flowers blooming and palm trees and of course, the beautiful ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
