Ding-a-Ling Ringling

Visited the Ringling museums down in Sarasota, about 45mins over Tampa bay. Ringling family owned the massive travelling circuses of the last century. 3 rings in one tent holding 14000 punters. There are all sorts of circus stuff in the museum inc a huge model constructed over 30 years. Sarasota was where the circus used to spend the winter & the Ringling's built a massive Venetian style house overlooking the bay. The whole house, gardens & art collections are lovely.
