I got a good nights sleep. It’s hard getting used to the dearth of traffic and sirens in St. Petersburg. It’s like the town is deserted it’s so quiet. You can walk across a street without taking your life in your hands.
Hampton Inn and Suites does a very nice breakfast for free. After breakfast, I strolled around downtown before everything opened. It was peaceful along the harbor.
Jim, Holley and I met in the breakfast room and we did a leisurely stroll to the Dali Museum, just a few blocks from the hotel. The site is certainly stunning.
Holley had a coupon plus Jim and I qualified for the senior rate. The first view of the inside of the museum is stunning.
The permanent collection is said to be the largest collection any where in the world. In reality, about the same amount was on view as in the old museum I visited many years ago. There was also a Disney and Dali temporary exhibit but I have developed a dislike of Disney so I didn’t spend much time there.

I think it’s the best Italian fare I’ve had. The penne vodka was great.
From Grazzi, we walked to Paciugo Gelato and Caffe, the number 1 “restaurant” in St. Pete according to TripAdvisor. It was pretty special. I had coconut, coffee and mocha, and sea salt caramel.
Next, Jim and Holley treated me to the Chihuley Museum. The collection was not as extensive as the exhibits at Fairchild Tropical Garden but were worth seeing. He certainly knows how to market his work and the shapes and colors of glass are spectacular.
Dinner was at the Parkshore Grill. Jim had steak and Holley salmon and I had the shrimp cocktail. We’ve kinda eaten our way through St. Pete. After dinner we walked around and ended up at the American Theatre to see a production of songs from the “drunken” American Song Book. There was a piano player, a torch singer, a saxophonist/clarinetist and a drummer – all superb, playing to a sold out audience. Did I mention the booze flowed freely with the songs?
The performance was held in the lobby of the theater so everyone could see and hear quite well and we were all steps away from the bar and bathrooms (not sure which was more important). We were their initial performance with two more nights to come. They were excellent.
Tomorrow, we do a walking tour of murals of St. Pete and then head for home. St. Pete is a very neat city and I’ll be back.
