Indian Beach Sapphire Shores

Sarasota

Queria fazer uma visita guiada à Ca' d'Zan mas logo na entrada fui informado, de um modo um tanto rude, que as visitas guiadas só seriam feitas no final de semana. Foi uma pena pois há algum tempo estava querendo fazer esta visita. Limitei-me a tirar algumas fotos da entrada.

The Ca d'Zan mansion, home to the late John Ringling; a man who revolutionised the circus as we know it. Creating a world renowned travelling circus, who's stunts and performances thrilled audiences for years. Despite passing away in 1936, his legacy, The Ringling Brothers Circus, still perform and dazzle crowds to this very day. A guided tour of the Ca d'Zan is available for a reasonable price, packed with intriguing stories and rich history, combined with an abundance of exotic art throughout, I could not recommend it any more highly.
Taken November 2014 on Thanksgiving weekend. At the back of Ringling Brothers mansion. Very nice view.
If you get a chance to visit the John and Mabel Ringling home in Sarasota, you will not be disappointed. This beautiful place is on the bay and is just spectacular.

Unique hotel with fun sayings on the walls. Open shelves in the room with good quality surfaces . No coffee in the room, but it was ok because they have espresso drinks in the lobby for typical prices. Easy to find and pet friendly.
