Sights in the Vizcaya Gardens, Miami
My wife likes to visit fancy places - castles, palaces, mansions, etc., so we decided to check out Vizcaya. It is a mansion built for a rich industrialist from the Midwest. He picked a good location - right on the water. The mansion itself was nice but it didn't blow our socks off. I just thought it was a bit dark on the inside but that is only my humble opinion. The gardens were nice but the drawback about living so close to sea water is many of the statues were decaying rather rapidly. All in all it was a decent visit, especially since I was admitted for free being a vet - that was a very pleasant surprise!
I took these photos in December 2019.
