Today we got up and went out to the street and shops that the hotel was on.  There was a street car which travelled from Ybor City to Tampa.  We decided for $2.50 that we would catch it in to town for the fun of it.  The ride was about 40 minutes in total which dropped us off one street back from east 7th Ave.  This avenue is full of restaurants, clothing stores and night clubs and is all set in the old historical town of Ybor City.  Spent some time shopping and then decided to drive towards Bonita Springs via St Petersburg.  The Dali museum is at St Petersburg and was very nice to see.  Dali has some of the most bizarre drawings and painting I have ever seen.  The building and gardens were also amazing and so well manicured.  We hit the road and travelled towards Bonita Springs and passed many bridges on the way as this area is just all small islands.  Arrived in Bonita Springs and then went for dinner.  While driving back to the hotel we stumbled across the DMC dealer.  20 DeLoreans altogether with 9 of those outside.  We spent a while looking through the windows into the immaculate show room.  I had planned to visit DMC which was on the list for tomorrow.


just 4 DeLoreans
