This fountain wasn't running at the time I'm not really sure why. I don't think it was because of the water restrictions but I didn't ask either. I'm sure it would have been beautiful had it been running.

A wedding, swanky! I looked into for there and the pricing was way over my budget and too many rules.
Yeah, it was someone I got friendly with at FAU. Not sure why I was even invited but from what I remember it was SERIOUSLY restricted, she couldn't do 1/2 the things she wanted to do at all. No candles what-so-ever, restriction on music & electrical equiptment, etc... For that kinda money why even bother. It wasn't even as impressive as I would have expected.

Your photos are GORGEOUS!

This was also another fountain or perhaps a pool. It was gated off and had a sign that it was under construction.

They also had these caves and they were absolutely beautiful. On the inside they were all detailed in shells. I guess you would call it mosaic done in shells.

Here is Omar standing inside of it, you can just see the shear size of how tall and wide it is.

More of the upper garden area. If you look to the left there is a small sitting room. It's amazing to me as the original furniture is in there and it looks like it was done maybe a couple of year ago. The area sits over what is now a canal, I'm sure it was just ocean before but it's since been built over.

In the lower garden area when you're walking back to the house.
