We travelled to a beach resort in Sarasota, FL, last week. We stayed on the white-sanded beach, listened to the waves, and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. We also visited The Dali Museum, which is about the life and work of Salvador Dalí, a surrealist sensation. As usual, we tried different cuisines in and around Sarasota.
