    Where is this? Aruba? Nicaragua? Puerto Rico? It is definitely in a place with a warm climate. All the places I travel in warm climates paint buildings in spectral color....why?

    It's Puerto Rico. I love pink! I'm not sure why they would paint a government building pink but I did a bit of research and I found something interesting....

    "There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the
    generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The
    reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more
    suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty,
    is prettier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918]
