Gay Travel Around the World
TRAVEL – is such an amazing experience!
You can meet new people, experience new cultures, travel feeds the soul!
Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that
you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from YOUR safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Sunset at the North Pole #northpole #santa
This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point last month. A scene you will probably never get to see in person, so take a moment and enjoy.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

DAY AT THE BEACH – Not a GAY BEACH!
I WONDER WHERE THE BATHROOMS ARE????
Where do they park their cars???
Do they have lifeguards??
How the hell do you get a tan?
What is REALLY going on, under those umbrellas?
“A Day At The Beach” takes on a whole new meaning.
I don’t know where this is…does anyone know??
Whistler Blackcomb…Skiing in a Snowglobe!
Last week I found this video on YouTube.
A day in the life of a miniature Whistler , the biggest little ski area in the world. This video documents a bird’s eye view of teeny, tiny Whistler Village and surrounding Whistler Blackcomb mountains, making it a real life snow globe.
It is by Switchback Entertainment .

Gay Travel and ReLocation to Maryland and Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier is a city in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Bordering Washington, DC, Mount Rainier got its start as a streetcar suburb.According to local tradition, surveyors from the Pacific Northwest named the town, giving the streets names such as “Shasta” and “Cascade”.
Mount Rainier has attracted a significant gay and lesbian population. In 2000, same-sex couples accounted for 1.0 percent of households, almost double the national average. IN fact, in 2004, gay and lesbian families were showing up in greater numbers in the nation’s suburbs and rural areas. The trend is a product both of migration from the cities and of cultural changes that have encouraged same-sex couples to become more visible .
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, told a radio caller Thursday
he would sign a gay marriage bill – if he’s re-elected
and the state legislature were to pass one.
Malley had previously only been in favor of civil unions.
These fabulous photos were sent to us from a reader.
Those crazy clouds are called “lenticular clouds” They’re caused when the air flow is just right so when it flows over Mt. Rainier , the air gets pushed upward where it cools and condenses into clouds. Depending on how smooth the flow is, you can get some amazing clouds formations as we’ve seen so far to day. Here is more information on what causes them from an earlier blog entry.
It’s usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically the moist
flow that precedes a storm around here is the perfect set up for these clouds.
PRETTY AMAZING!
