Spring break in South Florida, Part 1:









On Tuesday Patrick and I went to Vizcaya. (Here's what the website says: "Vizcaya was the winter residence of American industrialist James Deering from Christmas 1916 until his death in 1925...At the time of Vizcaya’s construction, Miami’s population was around 10,000...The house was intended to appear as an Italian estate that had stood for 400 years and had been occupied and renovated by several generations of a family. It has 34 decorated rooms with 15th through 19th century antique furnishings and art objects.")





































No cameras allowed inside, unfortunately. The interiors were really my favorite part. The website has pictures up though, including these.

It really does look like Italy. I'd seen pictures of there before, and I really want to visit.

i used to dream about that pool when i was little. i first went to vizcaya when i was eight, and i was so taken with it that i thought about it so often - what it would be like to be there, and swim in it, and sit up under that cave part. gah. i wish i could!

I love that dream! That pool is so beautiful, I wish it was open to the public.
