When we left Sunrise, Florida, on 5 August, we headed west on I-75 (Alligator Alley) and visited Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and Kissimmee before heading north for Georgia. The second tourist site we visited in Sarasota was the Ringling complex. We went to the Ringling Circus Museum (original and new) and Ca'd'Zan mansion. We were able to go on the 1 pm tour of the original Circus Museum with tour guide John Fisher. We rode the tram to the mansion and back. We went on the 3:15 pm tour of the mansion with tour guide John Fisher! The Circus Museums were excellent as was the very impressive Venetian Gothic mansion. (www.ringling.org). In my blog of 3 August I said, "All the many pictures from the museums and mansion will be in a separate blog entry." Here are Ben's pictures of the Old Circus Museum!
