Sea Serpents: (Immediately to the west of this huge shrine of Islam is the Hippodrome of the early empire. It must have been a place of earth-rocking excitement when the military triumphs and the big chariot races were held here. In the middle of the spina, around which the charioteers raced, Emperor Theodosius I erected an obelisk brought from Heliopolis in Egypt, and it still stands where he placed it sixteen centuries ago. Also marking the spina are two other relics, a weather-greened column of twined sea serpents filched by Constantine from Delphi, where it had been erected in 479 B. c. to mark the victory of the Plataeans at the Pythian Games, and a small stone pyramid built by Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus, meaning Born-to-the-PurpIe, in the 10th century. As the grand climax of the Hippodrome, visitors are shown the squatty fountain that Kaiser Wilhelm II gave to his political crony, Sultan Abdul Hamid.)
See Also Sea Shell:sea shell: The characteristic feature of turtles is the sea shell or horny body covering. The upper part of the sea shell is properly termed the carapace, while the lower part is termed the plastron. The carapace and plastron are connected on each side of the body by a bony bridge. The head, legs, and tail may be drawn into the sea shell.
Both the carapace and the plastron are formed of platelike sections fused together and covered with a horny exterior. These plates are called shields.
Range: Eastern Maine to Georgia, west to Michigan, Illinois, and Tennessee
Description: sea shell high and domelike; carapace may be yellow, orange, or olive on black or brown; same colors on plastron; either dark or light colors may predominate; reaches sea shell length of 4-6 inches.
On The Other Hand See Deep Sea Diving:Lodging establishment; lodging that includes accommodations and food and beverage service on the same premises.
A service that is provided as part of the normal room rate, such as golf course or tennis court fees, scuba diving, car rental, etc.
Pop A small, family-owned property, or one that is managed by a couple who handle all, or nearly all, of the functions.
As if I was not already impressed, the desserts offered really put me over the edge. Imagine Bananas Foster (Friday and Saturday only), deep sea diving Fried Bananas and deep sea diving Fried Strawberries arriving at your table. The most creative dessert, the deep sea diving-Fried Strawberries ($6.95), featured four large, fresh strawberries deep sea diving-fried in a crisp, light and mildly sweet batter, cut in half, and placed gently upon a sherry sauce. What a nice ending to a most enjoyable dining experience.
