The legend of Folly
Once, a rich man build a house for his new bride. When the house was ready he planted the garden with white flowers and took his bride to Jamaica for their honeymoon. All was ready for a romantic life, he thought.
But..., while building the house he made a terrible mistake: the concrete was mixed with seawater. And just at the moment he carried his brand-new wife over the threshold the concrete began to crumble. His wife fled in terror at the oman and left immediately. She never returned...
Actually the house was build in 1905 by Alfred Mitchell, a jeweler from the United States. He lived there till his death. The salt sea-air did change the house into a ruin, which is still there today.
Mmm, sometimes a legend is more romantic than reality...
