There are a few attractions in Miami that are still on our list of things to see. Yesterday, we knocked one of them off by visiting Vizcaya. This museum was an old villa built in the early 1900s in the style of the Italian Renaissance and adapted to the climate of South Florida. The first time I really heard about the place was when I was planning my wedding. We held our wedding at the Venetian Pool, and many people mentioned that it reminded them of a scaled down version of Vizcaya. That peeked our interest, but we didn't get around to going until yesterday.
I have to say that it is an amazing place. In fact, after we had gone through the villa and were out by the pool, I teased Steve that he could build me a house exactly like this in Texas. I told him that he should start practicing his hand carving skills. I wouldn't mind having the layout of the house, but I would keep the decor simple and forget about all that gold. Actually, I'll just stick with a modern day comfy home. It is hard enough to maintain.
By the way, Steve & I are doing very well. I guess he just needed a smack back to reality. He is acting like himself again. Hopefully, it sticks for a long time.
