“What is architecture but a kind of biography?” 
— Elizabeth Jones

“I sent my ships to fight against the English, and not against the winds and the waves.”
— Phillip II of Spain, 1588

5 highlights before I can draft a longer post. Our trip started at the TWA Hotel at JFK. Did you know there’s a copy of The Tempest in the 1960s living room at the TWA Hotel.

1. Friday night football under the lights. The Bermuda Football Association (BFA) Premier Division opened its 2026/2027 on September 18th and we saw a double-header at PHC Field. Both matches were super competitive and were decided late.

2. Hidden gems like Fort Hamilton, Blue Hole Park, Portuguese Rock, and Queen Elizabeth Par-La-Ville Sculpture Park.

3. WARBABY FOX. The ferry from St. George to the Royal Naval Dockyard.

4. Historical connection between Building Bay Beach / Alexandras Battery Park, Somers Garden, and Plymouth, UK.

5. SEA RAINBOW. A nice connection between Dragon’s Lair Gallery, Paul Simon, Otto Trott, Bermuda Arts Centre, and the Habitat ReStore.

The return trip from JFK via Metro North was like travelling on the “Old Rattle & Shake” in Bermuda. The line from GCT to New Haven is running diesel trains because of engineering work in South Norwalk.
