<\/a><\/p>\nAnd here is a full view.\u00a0 Its got to be the largest building in the Cayman Islands.\u00a0\u00a0 It took +-2.5 years by my estimates to complete.\u00a0 It must have started sometime in late 2008 or early 2009. I honestly don’t remember.\u00a0 I did get to see the progression though ; my office is in the building just to the right in the picture.\u00a0 I took this picture late Saturday morning, so there was very little traffic on the newly redone Elgin Ave.<\/p>\n
At the government house (and many other places on the island where there is a new building or large home), you can find newly planted palms.\u00a0 I asked a landscaper I know and he told me that palms like these are imported from the USA.\u00a0 They can cost anywhere from 3000-10000$ each depending on the height\/size\/type.\u00a0 Who knew palms could cost so much. \u00a0 But thinking about it,\u00a0 I guess it makes sense since shipping these must be somewhat complicated; probably cant go cargo in Cayman Airways!\u00a0 Since they are so tall, its frequent to see newly planted palms with stilts till they have time to develop their roots.<\/p>\n Next … I had the opportunity to see this marvel of landscaping.\u00a0 An awesome pool with a waterfall.\u00a0 Notice the bottom of the pool is black\/gray ; awesome.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
