I was driving back to Boston from Maine the day that Monsieur le president Sarkozy was lunching with Mr Bush in Kennebunkport...it didn't affect the traffic..not to worry! The little thing that everyone was laughing over was when Sarkozy gave the "finger" to the photographers in New Hampshire!! That was perfect! Everyone agreed that the photographers deserved it. That lake is known for being very private...lot's of "Honey-Mooners"!<BR/><BR/>Have a great time in Sarasota Eric!! I was going to suggest the "Ringling Museum" and Siesta Key, but Michael beat me to it! If I had to pick a place in FLA to go to, it would be Sarasota..not bad!

I'm not biased at all!<BR/><BR/>While you are there, here are a few suggestions:<BR/><BR/>In case you're missing culture (yes, it does exist in Florida!), check out the <A HREF="http://www.ringling.org/" REL="nofollow">Ringling Mansion and Museum</A> with a fine collection of Titian, Veronese, Rubens, Hals, and Velazquez on display. Of course the view from the terrace of the mansion overlooking the bay is fantastic!<BR/><BR/>You can also catch a symphony concert or opera at the <A HREF="http://www.vanwezel.org/" REL="nofollow">Van Wezel Concert Hall</A>. Another perfect setting along Sarasota Bay.<BR/><BR/>And why not a jazz concert by our friend <A HREF="http://cdbaby.com/cd/markaverich" REL="nofollow">Mike Markaverich</A>, who jams it up at <A HREF="http://www.caragiulos.com/" REL="nofollow">Caragiulos restaurant</A> every Thursday & Friday night.<BR/><BR/>Not far from where you'll be, in Fort Myers, is also the <A HREF="http://www.efwefla.org/" REL="nofollow">Edison & Ford Winter Estates</A> - perfect for a gadget geek like you! Or learn the <A HREF="http://www.pineislandart.com/fagan_sheller.jpg" REL="nofollow">"Sanibel Stoop"</A> while search for shells along <A HREF="http://www.sanibel-captiva.org/" REL="nofollow">Sanibel Island</A>.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you can just chill out along <A HREF="http://www.sarasotafl.org/explore/tour/siesta.php" REL="nofollow">Siesta Key</A> - voted over and over again, "America's best beach".<BR/><BR/>So, it's a little humid in August, but there are few tourists and there's always that new invention called Air Conditioning. Amazingly over-abundant in the South. Just bring your sweater and they'll know you're a French visitor. I'm sure they will be happy to welcome you!<BR/><BR/>HAVE FUN!Michael Salonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294866381143537391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-16040411644645454882007-08-15T07:08:00.000+02:002007-08-15T07:08:00.000+02:00Hey Eric, I've been away from blogging awhile so a...Hey Eric, I've been away from blogging awhile so am getting caught up.

He'll be expecting the worse when in fact, as Jeff said, Sarasota is on the west coast where the sunsets are fab, the fish is to die for, and unlike California, you can at least swim in the Gulf.
