Day 39 (2/15/26) – Layover in St. Petersburg, Florida

Foggy downtown St. Petersburg
There is laundry to be done!
We had dinner with our friend Lou Kneeshaw at Juno and the Peacock – incredible sea scallops and key lime tart to top it off!
This is the elegant wood and plaster staircase in the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. They have a beautifully curated collection of arts and crafts era furniture, lightning, pottery, metal art, and more. We highly recommend a stop here if you’re in St. Pete.
The lovely Arlyn table by George Nakashima, Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
Piano as fine furniture, Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
Stained glass window, Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
Bronze sculpture, The James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art. Another highly recommended stop!
Bronze sculpture with inlays, Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
A beautiful conch belt by artist Justin Benally, a talented Navajo jeweler. Check out this amazing website!
Our last stop – The Dali Museum! Not to be missed.
The beautiful atrium in the Dali Museum.
Still Life from Dali’s earlier works.
The Bather, a pre-surrealist piece influenced by Miro.
The Dali 360 Dome, home of an immersive exhibit showcasing Salvador Dali history and art. He was quite charismatic and talented.

We’ve had a lovely layover in St. Petersburg, Florida! The weather could not have been more perfect – it’s been a lovely respite after a frigid couple of weeks in Apalachicola. We were able to cycle easily and visited numerous eateries and museums downtown. We plan to depart for Sarasota in the morning with the goal of arriving in Fort Myers in early March. But first, fossilized sharks teeth and seashells await! Until next time – sweet dreams!

    1. Hi, Lan! It’s been quite an adventure and we’ve met so many nice people along the way. Nothing like Florida sunshine.
