Notes from paradise
This is my second year to spend six weeks in this paradisical setting. The apartment surpassed all my expectations: it is truly luxurious. I am still in awe, having watched every single sunrise from its earliest beginnings to the magic of the glowing orb cresting the horizon across the bay, from the balcony of the apartment: being on the sixth floor of the building with a 180 degree view is a gift. Who would have thought that 36 sunrises in a row could each be unique?
Sarasota is a happening town! Its downtown is quaint, with abundant shopping and art galleries, opera,
theater, ballet - you name it. Within a few miles of here, there are dozens of shopping opportunities at famous St. Armands circle, and yet here, on Longboat Key, there is peace and quiet, in the building as well as at the private beach.
Some of my most joyful moments have been watching the birds at the beach during the sunset hour when they congregate at the edge of the water and look out to the horizon as if expecting a miracle,
and watching thunderstorms approach from the city across the bay: actually, I spend hours just watching the ever changing cloud formations.
I hope to come back here every year of my life!
