Today instead of going to the aquarium and being cold all day we decided to do the museum of fine art (http://www.fine-arts.org/). Of course there is no photography inside the museum put here are two pictures of the outside.
Once inside we got a free admission with our membership to Brandywine River Museum but were told if we wanted to see the Fernando Botero exhibit it we would have to pay the $18 each admission fee, that was more then we wanted to spend so we were happy with just seeing the permanent collection displays. At 11:00 O’clock there was a guided tour that we decided we would take. When the tour was about to go into the Botero exhibit we told our guide that we could not come because our reciprocal membership did not allow us to go in, she went and got us the stickers anyway and said follow me, so we got in to see Botero exhibit anyway. It was very interesting, if you want to see some of his paintings and read about him follow this link, http://www.huntfor.com/absoluteig/botero.htm.
After lunch, in the car, we decided to try an outdoor activity so we drove over to the Sunken Garden (http://www.stpete.org/sunken/). This is a garden that was formed by the draining of a small lake that was the result of a sink hole. We had a very pleasant walk around the 6 acre site. Enjoy the pictures.
Next stop was the motel and after a short rest we went over to Jack and Louise’s condo, they are our neighbors back up in New Jersey. They have a very lovely studio apartment with a beautiful view of the gulf.
Jack and Louise took us to a lovely restaurant were we talked all through dinner. After dinner Jack took us on a twilight tour of the area of St. Pete Beach (I was going to stretch the truth and say it was a sunset tour but the sun was long gone by the time we got out of the restaurant, sorry Louise). When we got back to the condo we went upstairs for a small bowl of Ice Cream (we got more then we bargained for, thanks Louise).
We think we might try doing the aquarium tomorrow if the weather gets a bit warmer.
