Sarasota

I landed in Sarasota in the late evening. I had only a backpack by this point and that was mostly art supplies. I checked into the Golden Host Resort, the best little hotel I've ever stayed at. In the morning, I walked to Ringling College of Art and Design Campus, where I checked in, had my photo taken, was issued an ID and given a key to my room, where I dropped off my bag, put my gouache and watercolor paints in the top drawer, and where I set to educating myself.
