Arquitetura

As we walk around, I have started to love the surprises of the architecture.  The older buildings are each unique.  Some have undergone transformations, such as paint or additions of burglar bars, but others are worn and in need of repair.  I've been taking lots of pictures and trying to capture the beauty of these buildings.  I hope you appreciate their beauty as well, although a picture doesn't do justice.

This building above is right along the beach.  As you can tell, it needs a lot of work.  My parents tell me that many of these old buildings are purchased and renovated into restaurants.  I think this would be fantastic if the entire second floor would be restaurant seating with floor to ceiling glass.  The view would be purely beach and ocean.  A number of the buildings here have a rounded facade, like the building below as well as the one above. 

This is a more modern building, but there is still similar architecture.  I like the way the burglar bars are incorporated into the design of the steps.  

This last building is one of my favorites.  I love the various patterns!  The red and white part makes me think of giraffes. :)
