The clock is ticking toward the midnight hour of my trip, as I prepare for my return home tomorrow morning. Soon it will be all pumpkin again, which ain't too bad! I have seen the world, and Dorothy was right! There's no place like home! [Not bad, in three short sentences, two classic cinematic allusions.]
The photos in this posting were taken during my walk near the harbor. They are primarily of the former Marine Police Headquarters, which is now a luxury hotel with high end shops, restaurants, and fanciful decorations on the property, like the Cinderella coach pictured above. Here is a small potpourri of photos before I begin to pack for the long journey home.

| A tree planed inside a tower? Or, a tower built around a tree? |
 |
| Since we are looking at a tree, I thought I would add this photo of the roots of a banyan tree. |
 |
| A vestige of the building's former life, overlooking the chess set. It would be very risky to make a false move! |

Next posting...from the USA!
