As one of our guests, Martine Collier, put it: "Sarasota is a small town on cultural steroids." Sarasota also is home to the world famous John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art located on a 66-acre estate on Sarasota Bay with 21 galleries of art. For now, come along with us on our cultural discovery of Sarasota with our guests: Bill Cowdright, Exec.

The women's winner was "Queen Paula", the British entry who holds the women's record time. Interestingly enough her team was managed by Nick Bitel who assures our listeners that next year's marathon in London will offer adventurous travelers a chance to see the city's historical sights, all with in walking distance of the race itself. You name it. Big Ben has been restored. The Parliament will allow visitors, and London Bridge is just a short jog away. Restaurants, theatres, and some of the most diverse lodging in Europe are available. Nick tells us why. April 13, 2008 is the date.   From the Italian side, Pietro Chiabrera, who directs the marathon in Turin, Italy, gives us a bird's eye view of what to expect in their marathon which coincidentally falls on the very same date as the London one. Whether its 17th century architecture, hand-made chocolate savories, gourmet food and wine, and, of course, truffles for which his region is known for, there's a lot to see and do in Turin, or Torino as the natives pronounce. All of this and more this week on "LET'S TRAVEL" on the Tribeca Radio Network.   www.london-marathon.co.uk www.turinmarathon.it   1:53:47 PM    comment []
