Atalaya (ah-tuh-LIE-yuh) was the winter home of an extremely wealthy couple in the early 30s. Their money was inherited. She was a world renowned sculptor and he was an early environmentalist. There are large properties along the east coast that he bought and are now wildlife management areas. Huntington Beach California is named after him. The house is weird. It's called 'the Castle'. Across Hwy 17 is Brookgreen Gardens. Mrs Huntington displayed her sculpture there. We spent 4 hours roaming around the garden. Some of the sculpture was interactive. There was a bird enclosure that was kind of an Alfred Hitchcock experience. We move tomorrow.
