Our third and final trip for Caroline and Paul was to Siesta Key: the beach there was recently voted #1 in the US! We were going to see the Sand Sculptures featured in this year's
Crystal Classic. It was the final day of the show so we were a bit worried that some of the sculptures (using only sand and water!) might have ben imacted by the weather.

One of the many
impressive sculptures |
We needn't have worried though: all we saw was one castle tower that appeared to have fallen down. The same as the previous day, many of the artists featured had come from all over the world - according to one of their bios, she specialised in "ephemeral arts" by which she meant sculpturing in snow, ice, sand and foam... not sure about the last one....
We enjoyed looking around at the magnificent sand creations but the sun was so bright, reflecting off the perfectly white sand, that we found we needed to rest our eyes - maybe we need some more expensive sunglasses...
Back home for a swim in the pool before getting ourselves organised to host two other couples for dinner: our Canadian neighbours, John and Betty, and long-term locals, David and Maria. It was a very pleasant evening with lots of wine consumed -
