Dali Museum St. Petersburg

Our last day of Anniversary trip we thought we would go to the Lowery Park Zoo. But it rained. So we drove to St. Petersburg to the Salvadore Dali Museum. I was never a fan of Dali, but I became one after viewing his art in its real size and beauty. Sure, he was strange, but that was his hook. His mind was brilliant.

I couldn't get over the size of his master paintings, and you could look at them for hours and still see new stuff in them. He even had one of a woman looking out a window that became a painting of Abraham Lincoln if you got far away from it and squinted at it. That was amazing.

We enjoyed the water view and plan on visiting again when the new museum is built, it will be fabulous and will be able to show the whole collection at once. We only saw part of it. The new building will be from one of his designs.

Afterwards we enjoyed the architecture of St. Pete and found a waterfront restaurant on the marina. We enjoyed a great salad and pasta dish. Then we headed back to the motel for a swim in the pool as the rain had stopped.


We had a wonderful 41st wedding anniversary trip and afterwards found out that Vic would be able to fly into Ft. Myers after all for the last two days Mom and I will be there. We originally planned that trip for our Anniversary. Mom and I leave next Saturday for a time share at the beach. We will bring lots of books, and goodies and enjoy our leisure. Heh, heh.
