Our friends Dave Dorgan and Dan Dubriel came to the Antiques Road Show at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. They flew down from Chicago and Minneapolis.  Dave brought with him Native American artifacts that he had purchased at auction for $67.00. Not bad. We had looked at the objects and thought they were too perfect.  And they were perfect. Click the link below to watch the show. His presentation is near the end of the show. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/watch/episode/2304-ca-dzan-hour-1/ Dave also brought some Roman lamp molds that he had been given in Tunisia while he was in the Peace Corps. Also valuable. Dan took over a large Thai tapestry that we owned for which we paid $20. They estimated it was worth $200 to $300. Beth and I are members of the Museum. A very nice place.

A little over 3 miles around the lake. Stop at Starbucks on the way for a cup of ambition.

The map below is not quite right. When you get to the northwest portion of the map you can hug the lake on a path instead of walking out to Lakewood Ranch Blvd. Google Map Directions for the Rest of the Walk https://www.google.com/maps/dir/27.3968655,-82.4341853/27.397141,-82.4267694/@27.3970207,-82.4369506,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!4m4!1m1!4e1!1m0!3e2 https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Waterfront+at+Main+Street,+10530+Boardwalk+Loop,+Lakewood+Ranch,+FL+34202/27
