December 28, 2014  –   64 – 80°F Sunny, calm and a bit humid.  Water temp – 67°F.
It seems like every city I have ever visited has a “Main Street”.  Sarasota is no different. Main street radiates from the waterfront and like a spoke in a wheel radiating outward toward the rest of the city.   From the small park across the street, a city sign declares one of the Sarasota founding fathers were Scottish:

I wonder why the Vikings don’t get more credit for founding villages around the coastal areas.  sshh… maybe that is a secret.  Although the sign doesn’t say who the other “American settlers” were who welcomed the remaining Scots into their homes.  I just love ancient historical mysteries, don’t you?
Along Main Street you will find all sorts of shops and restaurants.  Tree lined sidewalks.  A mixture of restaurants, art dealers, finance/banks, and general retail – old and new.
Posh Hotel – except it looked empty and rundown. Posh because there is a sign saying so in the window.
