Sarasota is a great place to visit...great Botanical Gardens, Ringling Museum and Home, all the beaches on Siesta, Lido, and LongBoat. The marina downtown is a great place to walk and watch the sunset and people. Eateries are all over and it's hard to find any place that isn't good. Glad you enjoyed Siesta Key... I grew up on that wonderful Key (Palm Island) just a stones throw from that beautiful beach before all the condos and high rises were all built up. Siesta Key Village was indeed a quaint village with an awesome sundry that no longer exists... progress does change things, but Siesta Key will remain forever young and beautiful!
