                          Growing rocks and all that

Spring [1] and I went to the Morikami Museum nd Japanese Gardens [2] in
Delray Beach, Florida [3]. Quite the calm and peaceful place, much like Bok
Tower [4], only without Saruman and his throngs of Uruk-hai running around
the place.

[“See! I told you! Squid eyeballs!”] [9]
[10]
[And absolutely NO swimming!] [11]
[12]
[Sadly this wasn't real, but a cunning fake.] [13]
[14]
[This isn't the Bridge over the River Kwai.] [15]
[16]
[Lots of pretty flowers] [17]
[18]
[A rock garden, and what can't I ignore? That pine cone.] [19]
[20]
[Waves of rocks in the garden] [21]
[22]
[Yet another garden for growing rocks.] [23]
[24]
[There's a museum over there, along with very small trees.] [25]
[26]
[For some reason, I found this very funny.] [27]
[28]
[Little trees.] [29]
[30]
[Rock Balboa has nothing on these guys.] [31]
[32]
[Wow, a Bonsai forest of one tree!] [33]
[34]
[These guys were at least 2′ in length!] [35]
[36]
[One of several waterfalls.] [37]
[38]
[Boca Raton is overrun with these guys. This wasn't the only fauna we saw
though.] [39]
[40]
[Yet another rock garden.] [41]
[42]
[This place is lousy with rock gardens!] [43]
[44]
[And from Japan we hit a pub in Irland.] [45]
[46]


Significantly afterwards, in keeping up with our international hopping in
South Florida, Spring and I hit a Irish pub for dinner, where I had a
traditinal Irish Fish-n-chips, and Spring had a spinage dip with potatoes,
which prompted us to ask if the Irish settled Idaho.
