Magnificent Mansions


No, this is not where I live! But wow, the houses that line the gulf beaches. They are spectacular. They have multiple balconies, serene patios and sparkling pools decorated with tasteful and colorful tiles. And of course, they kiss the beach. On the street side you can see just how huge they really are. Some of them must have 10 or more bedrooms -sort of like a mini-hotel ...or spa. Perfectly polished plantings blooming happily surround the concrete or brick driveways and sidewalks. And in the wee morning hours many of them have all the shutters down and they look like armored fortresses awaiting a brutal storming!
