We took the 'red eye' on Monday night/Tuesday morning to Atlanta and then from there flew to Sarasota, Florida. This was an entirely new area for the two of us. We have been to Tampa before but never this far south on the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida.
After checking into our hotel we got directions to go to Siesta Key and the beach there. It turned out to be a great beach with hardly anyone on it. Unlike California, individuals and corporations can own sections of the beach in Florida. The beach we went to was a public beach with life guards on duty 365 days of the year. It must be the pits to pull duty on Christmas Day
A corner of the beach was fenced off and had quite a few "mountains" of sand. It took us a few minutes to realize that the piles of sand were for sand sculpturing. The picture above has a row of dolphins sailing across the horizon. I never did figure out what the elaborate work on the one below represented.
