Bosslady and I went out to Coral Beach and Horizons resorts this morning for an extended site visit - about 4 hours, coming through the various components of the proposed site plan for the redevelopment of these pleasant older resorts into a Four Seasons resort. It is a project that probably would be terrific for Bermuda, if they get the financing pulled together and build it to a high quality standard. We met a very pleasant woman out there - an insurance salesperson, I think, turned master gardener in one of those 'follow your bliss' moments, from Long Island - and she was our golf cart driver and tour guide for the whole time.
The day started off a little cloudy but became more and more spectacular. I took pictures with my camera until I ran out of juice, then took pictures with the department camera to finish up. Most of these are for our purposes, keeping a record of specific vegetation, slopes, buildings that will stay or go, that sort of thing. Some of them, tho, are tourist worthy - and nicely illustrate one of the reasons why site visits here in Bermuda are rather different than those in Durham.
Afterwards, we had lunch on the terrace. The flowers and colors just pop, esp with the dozen shades of aqua one sees. The lobster avocado salad wasn't bad either...
