Palm Beach, FL


Linda on Worth Street (? - I'm not sure of the street name). Fancy shops, designer clothiers, art galleries, and expensive cafes line this main street. It reminds us a bit of areas in Jerusalem or some European cities because there are many narrow walkways between buildings leading to courtyards behind the stores (often where cafes and restaurants are tucked away). There are brick pathways to the courtyards, colorful tile borders, statues, fountains, benches, plants/vines/trees, etc. Very cozy. It's a fun place to explore. And there are private stairways that turn up and out of sight to second- & third-floor apartments. Curiosity makes you want to see what's up there, but we didn't dare tresspass, of course.

Most of the shops were closed on a Sunday, so this security guard just inside the door to an art gallery made us do a double-take. Then we saw the sign that says, "Thank you for not touching the mannequin."

 

Breakers Hotel - Palm Beach, FL

One of the fabulous hallways off the main lobby. Even the ceiling is beautiful.

One of the dining rooms (with a view of the Atlantic). The room's domed ceiling, with skylight and chandelier. All around the dome are beautiful scenic paintings in oval shapes.


Another fabulous ceiling in a large room. There are portraits of Victorian dressed people all around the upper edge by the ceiling, but unfortunately the flash wasn't bright enough to get a shot of that.

In all the hallways and meeting rooms and courtyards, every single thing is art in itself - the architectural design, the ceilings, drapes, paintings, tapestries, tables, chairs, statues, flower arrangements... EVERYTHING was ornate. They don't build 'em like this any more!

Walkway to the lawn and pool. The lawns are like velvet green carpet!

As we were leaving, we saw this fancy car parked in front of the hotel, so we stopped to get pictures. It looks empty, right? We thought so. Boy, were we shocked and suprised when a guy's head popped up! The driver was in it! He had been on the phone and maybe reclined on the seat or whatever - he looked up to see what the flashes were! He got out of the car and we talked with him for a couple minutes. We all had a good laugh!


The driver. (its a limo service)
