The beautiful Biltmore

After our day at the Fruit & Spice Park we headed back into civilization. We decided to pal around the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. It, shall we say, is fabulous. We'd like to one day have the good fortune to actually spend a night (or a few) in this national landmark. It's an incredible structure that was built in 1926 in 10 months for $10 million. It has the largest continuous pool in the continental United States. The place is said to be haunted by the ghost of one of Al Capone's victims as he was often a frequent quest at the place and, legend goes, whacked somebody right there in the posh resort.

It was amazing to walk through, incredible to look at and stunning to think it's been standing for the better part of 83 years.

If you're so inclined there is a highly rated golf course, restaurant and bar on the premises. Plus it has its own Culinary Academy for all you chefs.
