Day 4: The Ringling Museum
Clowning around
We headed to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota today, which was founded by John Ringling: one of the owners of the travelling circus empire. There were lots of stuff to see today but we hadn’t left enough time to see them … but first, as we were hungry we had lunch at a restaurant in the museum: Treviso.

Later that evening, we did a bit of shopping at Whole Foods Market had our Christmas Eve dinner back at our suite. (We had smoked salmon, made slow-cooked beef ribs, some chicken sausages, corn on the cob …)
