          <headline>Welcome to St Petersburg</headline>
          <para0>
               An integral part of Tampa Bay, St Petersburg is geographically gifted with a view to the east Tampa Bay 
               and looks west over the Gulf of Mexico. Known as the Sunshine City to many - and America's Sailing CIty to others, St Patersburg
               is a destination with something always happening.
               </para0>

               The "City" overlooks Tampa Bay to the East and features its signature Pier. An inverted pyramid with restaurants, shops, and an aquarium.
               </para1>
          <para2>
               The beaches of St Petersburg stretch from Fort DeSoto on the South through numerous beach communities up the coast for almost 30 miles to Cleawater. 
               </para2>
          <para3>
               More visceral than that of Sarasota, St Petersburg is an artist's heaven, with numerous public and private galleries and museums: Including the spectacular Dali Museum.
               </para3>
          <para4>
               Activities range from sailing, fishing and boating offerings, numerous concerts and performances, weekly major events and stunning parks and beaches.  
               </para4>
          <para5>
               St Petersburg, the beach town of St Pete Beach are home to two famous historic resort hotels: The Vinoy and the Don Cesar. Worth checking into, if just for a peek.
