Memorial day was lovely this year. We decided to take a drive to Sarasota to meet with one of Rosita's former teachers, Susan Starr. While we were there we enjoyed the gentle emerald water (The Gulf Coast is a good deal less tumultuous than the Atlantic side of the Florida peninsula).
It seems that the town of Sarasota reeks of 'tourist trap'. Complete with faux Grecian statues and brick-a-brack shops. (We even spotted a store that sold brown paisley pants....Yuck!) However, the beaches are brilliant. The ice-cream and gelato are delicious and the music of the Sarasota music festival is fantastic! (also we went to a restaurant which had the best Spanish food I've ever had!
