Saint Petersburg & Imagine Museum of Glass Art

On the way back from the Ringling Museum, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo by getting tacos from a foodtruck in Bayshore Gardens.

We ate super delicious, messy tacos in the car. 

The next night, we went to a popular club in downtown St. Pete. We were the youngest people there by a few decades.

In the Edge district of Saint Petersburg is the CUTEST little German café with possibly the best fries we've ever eaten. The currywurst was sensational and the vibes were immaculate.

Otherwordly sculptures featured in St. Petersburg's Imagine Museum of Contemporary Glass Art.

Upstairs were some peculiar space-themed exhibits.

Juan got me this glass heart from the museum's gift shop. I carried it close every day until we moved in together in 2023.
