                           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.

 [The Land of Make Believe at Ground Level] [7]
 [8]
 [“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.
