      The Gingerbread House at the GF.

      We were fortunate to be staying at the GF recently when they were building the gingerbread house in the lobby.
      Here are a few photos of the progress.

      The Start

      Work in progress [contd.]

      Starting to attract attention

      Almost there!

      Just a few more finishing touches to add

      ...and a few more!

      Actually we were only at the GF for 5 nights John, but they started building the house on our second day so we were able to monitor the progress.

      That's really cool, Terry!

      Interesting that they start with a complete house and the gingerbread all appears to be a facade on the outside.

      Looks delicious!

      That was one of my illusions shattered Tom.
      Until I saw it, I was under the impression that it was entirely made of edible materials.

      Weren't they plastic moldings that just bolted together? That's what they appeared to be in your pictures. Or does Florida now have plastic eating termites?

      You may well be correct Tom.
      To be honest I never inspected them closely.

      brought a tear to my eye as we watched them constructing it last year and tasted the gingerbread too
