That was pre Irma, and yes just above dawn beach, lovely view. Sadly that villa along with a couple more on that corner are totally gone including their foundations. It’s amazing as large and as well built as those homes were, that there gone. So sad.

Just use the ancient Paint application and the Eraser Tool as shown in the image below. If you are using one of those weird Apple devices I'm sure there is something similar. P.S> I knew Bonifacio. Always wanted to sail into there as the entrance looks magnificent. Haven't yet had the opportunity. Attached Images Last edited by Jeannius; 10/08/2020 01:52 AM.

So now I need to wait for the timer to run out (how many hours is that?)

So Arnd is correct about Roman influence Statue erected 1929, later moved to present location. Besides the Golden Gate, there are three other gates to the palace in this city - all named for precious metals. Last edited by jphart; 10/09/2020 08:11 AM.
