VillaHotel Contenta
Contenta can only be described as spectacular from just about every standpoint. The huge 11,000 sq ft (1,020 m2) villa, built in the Spanish
Colonial style on exclusive Palm Island, has views across Biscayne Bay towards South Beach. A private dock, floating deck, dining terrace
with bar, fridge and barbecue, an enormous 130 ft heated, walk-in pool with Jacuzzi, swim-in grotto and waterfall, are just some of the
garden's features. Add a regulation beach volleyball court and a gym that few fitness clubs could equal and you only just begin to appreciate
the extraordinary scope of this magnificent VillaHotel. From the grand piano in the lounge, through to the full-size pool table, movie theater
and bar, every possible concept in home entertainment has been embraced. Each of the six bedrooms have a distinctive theme, including a
master suite with a walk-through dressing room and an enormous bathroom that features a totally open-sided shower. For all the wealth of
fantasy ideas, Contenta is brilliantly accomplished, supremely comfortable and just five minutes from the action of South Beach.

Apollo command module converted into a time capsule
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
Command module BP-1227 was lost at sea early in 1970 as it was being used to train UK-based naval units in spacecraft recovery. Well, not exactly “lost”… a Soviet fishing trawler (or what looked to be one) lurking in the area first snagged the capsule from under American noses, then spirited it away to the communist motherland for a detailed KGB analysis. Later that year and in a climate of detente, the American Coast Guard icebreaker Southwind made an official courtesy call at the arctic port of Murmansk. To the rather large surprise of the ship’s crewman, the Red Navy dropped off a rather large surprise package: BP-1227!
