A Guided Tour of Coral Gables

A few posts back I alluded to a brief visit I had made to the Miami community of Coral Gables. Today I went back there and this time I received a [superb!] guided tour by my new friend, Monica.

Here are two shots of the old Coral Gables Water Tower, disguised to look like a lighthouse. You can read a fascinating history of the structure here, written by Bob Terwilliger. Note: I didn't actually need to mention the author's name but how many times do you get to say "Terwilliger"?! I love the way those syllables roll off one's tongue!
