made it to St. Petersburg, Florida
We made it down to St. Petersburg, left John’s house Wednesday about 2 P.M. in the afternoon drove till 1 A.M., up again at 7:30 on the road by 9 arrived in St Pete at 11:30 P.M. Thursday. The drive was pretty uneventful with the exception of the three hours in the heaviest downpour I’ve ever experienced between Jacksonville and Tampa… lightning, thunder, road flooding, the works. Thursday we unloaded the truck, about 50 paintings to be sold by dealer down here. Spent the afternoon at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art, had what is supposed to be the towns best Cuban sandwich at a deli John’s friend here reccomended, came back to the lodge we are staying at and then I walked out to the ocean and went wading as the sun set. The water was really warm. I could see where it would be fun to come down here for a vacation and just laze about in the sun. This morning where getting ready to go to the Salvador Dali Museum and we plan to stop at “Florida’s largest new and used book store” after the museum closes this afternoon.
