We went to Ruth Eckerd Hall to see and hear Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a picture of Ruth Eckerd Hall lobby - I was impressed with the lights.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went to St. Petersburg to see the Dali Museum. They had an outside dome with a show that projected onto the dome.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In back of the museum entrance is outdoor cafe seating and a dome 'show'. We attended it and enjoyed the pictures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ate lunch at the inside cafe. We had chicken-salad on salad-greens.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what the Dali 'early years' gallery looked like.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what the Dali Giacometti gallery looked like.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lobby was very interesting. It had a spiral stairway to the upper floors and the cafe beyond the stairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spiral stairway to the upper floors was a work-of-art itself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I liked the Fibonacci Sequence imbedded into the concrete. The spiral continued a long way to demonstrate how the sequence expands.

This is a pixalated picture of Abraham Lincoln when viewed from a distance. To see the picture, you had to squint your eyes or walk a long distance down the hallway. By the way, in the thumbnail picture of this, his picture is clearly visible.

This is the aisle where the Lincoln picture is visible from the distance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This picture was very large and also displayed a picture-within-a-picture. I need to study Dali more to know what the display contained.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a sculpture inside the Dali Giacometti section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a booth where both sound and pictures were displayed inside the Dali Giacometti section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dali Museum building had unusual windows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We attended a symphony orchestra concert. I took a picture of the audience before the performance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside Ruth Eckerd Hall just after the doors opened for the concert.

People entering the Ruth Eckerd Hall doors. Note: there was a bag-check before the ticket verifier.

We attended a play named "The Putnam County Spelling Bee" and the lobby had a display of the cast. (I don't remember the name of the theater.)
