William and Judy took us to Siesta Key for a great sunset ceremony one Sunday evening. It's a weekly event, with drummers and dancers and hoopers and frolicking and romping and such. The Drum Circle consists of anyone who shows up with a drum, and they play together....loooooooong songs. While they play, the audience (which consists of whoever is there) participates if they choose. There were small children dancing and chasing one another, adults dancing and chasing one another, and people with hula hoops (try doing THAT if you haven't in a few years) of all ages. At the beginning of the ceremony, a small mound was built up in the sand with flowers on top and a garland all around. The centerpiece suffered some when it was remodeled by some children, but served as an altar of sorts to honor the sunset. It is a gorgeous beach, and the sunset was spectacular. The most interesting view, however, was the people.
