By Jony Mozen


The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is definitely a place to visit if one is going to Florida. The campus has two museum buildings as well as the Roji-en Japanese Gardens that also features many bonsai. They are located just west of the Delray Beach Florida, in the Palm Beach County. In the main building called the Cornell Cafe they give demonstrations which include tea ceremonies as well as classes and several times a year there are traditional Japanese festivals.

Its Eastern boarders stretch along the Atlantic Ocean for just under six and a half kilometres and directly to the south it is boarded by Baco Raton. To the southeast and south is Highland Beach and north is Boynton Beach. This specific area has a total of just over forty one square kilometres and forty square kilometres of that is water.

At Boynton Beach there are many different things to keep one busy as there are many shopping malls and points of interest. For those diving enthusiasms this is definitely a place to visit. There is an inlet which has a wide variety of beautiful corals and reefs where one will be able to spend hours enjoying.

Delray hosts the International Tennis Championships and is held each year in the city. The courts are hard and were previously held in Coral Springs until nineteen ninety nine. It was then known as the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships and in nineteen ninety three an American by the name of Todd Martin won the first singles event.

There are many salons and spas around town and each one is unique. Needing to work out, there are many different disciplines to choose from ranging from the normal gym to Dance, Martial Arts and Pilates. There are also many massage therapists and chiropractors available if needed.

Each day the water Utilities Department pumps about two million gallons of treated water into the Wetlands. There are well over one hundred different species of birds that have been seen and they include the not very often seen pied-billed grebe, black bellied whistling ducks and the snowy egrets. There are many aquatic animals to be seen as well and they range from different species of frogs, turtles, alligators as well as raccoons and rabbits.

The pied-billed grebe is a species of water bird and since the Podilymbus gigas is now extinct it is the only member of the Podilymbus left. They are small and stocky with short necks and have a wingspan of forty five to sixty two centimetres. They differ from the other grebes as they do not have any white under their wings. During summer their bills are encircled with a black belt and the throat is also black.

The beginnings of this site began in nineteen thirteen and the elementary school had from grade one to twelve. As more people came to the town the high school was built on the same site just north of the original building and that was in nineteen twenty five. Over the following years these two schools were too small to accommodate everyone and the high school moved just north of town. As time progressed the buildings for the Elementary school fell into disrepair and were abandoned. A small group of people then decided to try and restore and preserve the building and saw that it could easily be converted into a cultural arts centre. It now has a new face and is called the Crest Theatre.
