Sarasota sights near and on Highway 41

We've returned to the Florida mainland on Highway 41, and we'll note a few sites and sights as we head north.  We're going to make some serious progress this week.


The Ringling Museum of Art is literally a few hundred yards off of Highway 41.  First a panorama, featuring an iconic replica of Michelangelo's statue of David overlooking the courtyard.



Here's a view of the museum from the road.  If you head directly away from the museum on the red brick road, you will quickly be back on Highway 41. It's the first road you come to.  Turn left to head north.



New College of Florida - this is a liberal arts, high academic achievement branch of the University of South Florida.  We're just going to drive by.   You can see the logo on the pedestrian overpass.



You knew that there had to be a Bearded Clam restaurant somewhere in the world, didn't you?  Well, there's definitely one, as seen below.  I wonder if they have box lunches available.




North to Bradenton!
