Thanks for the note, Rose. The place is a lot of work to maintain, and it’s not being maintained nearly as well as it should be. I enjoyed the walk to the Apollo Basin, and especially the great fountain, but the rest of it looked a little shabby to me. It has always taken a small army of people to look after the place as it should be.
