It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.
I commonly went ashore every day, either upon business, or to recreate myself in the fields, which were very pleasant, and the more for a shower of rain now and then, that ushers in the wet season.
I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!
