It's been two and a half months since my last visit to the worksite in Trinidad. The many hurricanes thankfully skirted this southern part of the Caribbean but they have had a much wetter rainy season than normal. Despite the sogginess of the site they have been busy and accomplished a great deal. some of the concrete decking has been poured and many features are in place. The rides have been erected and the buildings are almost at lockup stage. This week, under my direction we will begin shaping the ground for the adventure golf and locate many of the features in that area. Today as I walked the site I could clearly visualize the finished park. Together with the owner we marked out the location for the courtyard features, taking note of sight lines and traffic flows. It is one thing to plan things out on paper and quite another to be on site making sure everything is as it should be. We are at that place where a construction site rapidly transforms into a theme park... a very exciting and long awaited moment. Stay tuned for some exciting pictures this coming week.
Change in direction
Peter and I were up very early this morning to catch a plane. Peter was heading back home but after a last minute change of plans I was headed much further south to do some consulting on the theme park project in Trinidad. It was dark when we landed in the Caribbean but pleasantly warm. It was good to be back once more! We went straight to our lodging for a good night's rest. I'm excited to go to the site first thing tomorrow and see first hand what has been accomplished in the two months since my last visit. We have a lot to accomplish in the next four days!
Eagle eye
Tonight Peter and I walked the downtown core of Salt Lake City admiring the wonderful architecture that abounded. There was a lot of inspiration to be found and I took a bunch of pictures to help us remember later. One piece of marble carving especially caught my eye. The eagle was on a government building and acted as a railing for a porch. What I especially loved was how the fully formed head morphed into a stylized are nouveau style body and wing, A lot of other wonderful stone work caught our eye
