I started this blog in September 2008 when I moved to downtown St. Petersburg, with the comment, “This is just a random, occasionally updated, collection of my musings about what is going on in my world and my new city.” There are probably fewer posts about my “new” city, now. However you can count on a continuation of food, restaurant and travel posts. I hope you enjoy this little journey in my world.

Washington Park, Part 3 - International Rose Test Garden
Just steps downhill from the Japanese Garden is the International Rose Test Garden. The 5 acre hillside garden was established in 1917 and is used as a testing ground for new varieties of roses. This city-maintained garden bestows awards on each year's best roses. The variety of colors and types or roses were amazing and made for a very pleasant stroll through the row after row of roses.
