A (formal) Halloween Bash at sundown on October 24th 2009.
This weekend I wish I could go back to Vizcaya again.
I went as a small girl a few times and I wanted to share it with you.
I want to see the home and the grounds again, but what I really want is to go to the BASH!!!!
Which means ...it is all TEXTURE.
I remember this the clearest.
How cool it is to swim in and out of one's home!
You have to understand....Florida was a remote and difficult jungle to deal with.
You had to be pretty ambitious to get this task completed.
The tour guides.....
Now you know if these woman were around today, THEY WOULD BE BLOGGING!!!
( and on my blogroll for sure)
Do you think so? Would you visit Vizcaya if you were in Miami?
Let's go inside and look around.
Check out the ship chandelier.
Would you want to go to a Halloween Bash at VIZCAYA with me if you could ????
I wish we could!!!!
And all dressed up too.
It is the closest thing to a masquerade ball that I will get to this year.

An Amazing space!
ReplyDelete...the whole coral carved barge, and the swim-in/swim out house!
Thanks for this share.
..any Yes!..I would love to be there.
The place is breathtaking! I live near Newport RI, which is famous for all its mega mansions from the gilded age, so I get to go to places like the Vizcaya! They don't have swim houses like that though.
ReplyDeleteI certainly would visit, if I was in Miami....have been to Florida many times, but didn't know about this place...perhaps next time Renee...but you MUST go, with camera, as we would all want to see how it went. XXXX
ReplyDeleteRenee!
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing..just incredible. Every one of these images makes me want to get on a plane and go to that ball with you!! It is like stepping back into history. A decadent history at that.
I say go.. bribe your daughter if you must! haha

Soo very opulent and very Miami! I am not a Halloween girl, but I would go with you, especially if I could be something fabulous and NOT scary!

Visiting Vizcaya in January or February, yeah. We spent a great February vacation sailing off The Rickenbacker Causeway. We saw Viscaya from the water while the wives toured the inside. They got a better tour and didn't get wet.
ReplyDeleteIs Monty Trainers still in Coral Gables?
Ohhh...the life the upper class led in those days...the indoor outdoor pool house is such a dream...
