As we cruised the 15 miles out to Anacapa Island, the dense fog was trying to hold on to the ocean's surface, but we were still able to see a pod of dolphins jumping at the bow. As brief as it was, it was (as always) an incredible sight to see and started the day off perfectly!</p><p>As we arrived at our dropoff spot, Keyhole Arch, we donned our face masks and were helped into our tandem kayaks by the awesome crew of The Sunfish (<a href="http://GoWildBlue.com">GoWildBlue.com</a>). We went into just a handful of the nearly 135 sea caves on Anacapa. Sometimes we had to duck, sometimes we had to go 1 or 2 kayaks at a time, but every time we were surrounded by beauty.</p><p>The best part of the day, though, actually, it happened twice, was when the harbor seals played peek-a-boo with us as we sat in our kayaks! They came up so close and looked at us with those puppy-dog eyes as if asking us to play with them! Then they would duck back underwater, swim around our kayaks, and pop up again. It was truly amazing and an experience I will never forget. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Map of Anacapa Island and our stops" border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="1928" height="192" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kLd_6z8hIls/X3D0huhlWtI/AAAAAAABEcE/f7snI_0MjQ8tiprAOfbt-w3P8IWfcjgcgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h192/Kayak%2BTrip%2BMap.PNG" style="margin-left: auto;

Now, I still wouldn't claim to be an "outdoors girl", but I have done the things and I enjoy the things in small doses. I have to say, though, that I have never enjoyed it as much as I did on this trip. Like most everyone else, we have been on lockdown for months. We had to cancel our trip to Morocco in April. It's currently 141° here in Phoenix so now we can't even enjoy much outside of our air-conditioned home. So this was a much-needed road trip. And I never would have seen so much beauty if not for Eric and his RZR. To be able to zip out of the cute little town of Silverton and go up, up, up to 13,000 feet and see snow and hear nothing but the chirps of marmots and the wind in the trees. I never would have had that experience without him. It was our medicine for COVID--19...if only temporary. I hope you enjoy the pictures even half as much as I enjoyed the time away.<br />
<br />
Oh, and I apologize in advance for the enormous quantity of photos below. There was just SO MUCH BEAUTY and I really wanted to share it!<br />

I started remembering some of my photos of people (which I rarely take) and just thought it would be a nice memory to share some faces of people I've met in my travels. With the exception of one or two, I don't know them personally, they were but a blip along the way. However, each one holds a special memory for me and I truly hope they are all doing well.<br />

I hope that everyone in all of these photos and everyone all across the world are faring well during this crazy time. I desperately have the desire to travel, especially after going through all of these pictures, but now is not the time for that. Now is the time to be patient, something that we Americans are not good at. We could certainly stand to learn some lessons from the Italians and the Cubans. Let's find some peace during this. Let's respect one another. Let's get through this and come out the other side better, more responsible, caring people. I challenge you, and myself, to do that. Be well.<br />

I'm not even going to say how long it's been since I blogged - just that it's shameful! I share so many photos randomly on social media that I don't take the time to photo-blog anymore. The other thing that's shameful is that when I started making my 2020 calendar I had taken fewer photos with my nice expensive camera than ever. So I made a promise to myself that in 2020 I would get my camera out more and have a nice 2021 calendar. However, you may have heard, we've been hit with this damn COVID-19/Coronavirus/'rona-bitch, so we are all limited in our daily activities. Thankfully, this weekend my husband got me out to a very remote part of the state and I took my camera and we took our "new" puppy, Zara. Per usual, my photos do not do it justice. So, what I would like you to know is that I've never seen so many poppies in one place. I've never seen so much yellow ever. And, something I was unable to capture, is we had never seen so many butterflies in our lives! At times it was literally like it was snowing butterflies! I hope you enjoy the photos. Much love to everyone during this challenging time.<br />

Well, it didn't quite work out the way I planned. There were torrential downpours in Maine, gray cloudy skies in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island with intermittent rain showers, and cold, blustery temperatures. I thought for sure all of my photos would be shit. So I was pleasantly surprised to have a few decent ones to share with you all. I hope you enjoy my Fall Foliage.<br />

I can't help but think of Henry David Thoreau when I'm in this part of the country so I will leave you with two of his quotes:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><i>"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."</i></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><i>"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><i><br /></i></span>

I may be blogging less but I'm reading more so...there's that! Thankfully I have something to finally share, as we recently went north to Cottonwood for some wine tasting and then spent a few hours in Jerome the following day. I'm hoping you'll enjoy a couple of my favorite AZ towns in photos.<br />

I really had no idea what to expect of this trip. I was hoping for some good photo ops, possibly to see a bear, and no rain! What I got were endless photo ops, lots of bear sightings/interactions, no rain, and new friends. It was a wonderful experience and has left me wanting to go back with an even bigger camera lens! Until that happens, and it will, I hope you enjoy the photos I got on my "rookie" trip.<br />
<br />
We flew into Bozeman and spent a great weekend in this very fun little city. Sadly, I did not have a John Mayer sighting but...maybe next time! Along one of our drives we saw these big-horned sheep who posed for me for just a minute before bounding off up the hill. <br />

Shortly after entering the park we had our first bear sighting! This black bear was searching for tubers in an open field. He was less than 100 yards from us and didn't even seem to notice that there were approximately 20 people standing around him taking photos.<br />

As we neared our <i>outstanding</i> lodge, we saw a red fox on the side of the road. We pulled over and just the 3 of us watched as he searched around for mice and then crossed the road and ran into the forest. He was so beautiful, my fellow ginger!<br />

That evening, and each evening that week, we had a delicious dinner prepared by a private chef (Dani, I still want that pasta recipe!) and went to bed early. We met at the cars at 5am on Tuesday to head out for a sunrise wildlife viewing. <br />

We quickly came upon a buffalo carcass being eaten by a number of grizzlies and ravens. The carcass was 200-300 yards out so I wasn't able to get great shots. But watching through the scopes that Dani provided was an amazing experience. <br />

Next we went to the Lamar Valley wolf den. Dani knew that there were wolf pups at this den and we were hoping to see them! Unfortunately for me, the den was quite far away and it was impossible for me to get photos. After watching the wolves and their pups through the scope, I took some photos of the wildlife around us including ground squirrel, bison, trumpeter swans, and moose.<br />

On the way back to the lodge we saw another (the same?) red fox. I just fell in love with him! In my opinion, he was such a fun mix of dog and cat! He looked more like a dog but behaved more like a cat when he was hopping on his prey. <br />

After she ran off we drove a little further down the road where there was quite a large mob of people. We learned that a mama black bear and her 2 two-month old cinnamon cubs were up in a tree because another female back bear and her 2 one-year old cubs had come into "their" territory. The other mom and her cubs climbed the tree next to the other 3 bears. So, we had a total of 6 bears, 2 moms 4 cubs, all up in two different trees.<br />

We never got to see the baby cubs come down from their perch, but later that day when we passed back by everyone had gone on their way. In addition to the total of 7 bears that day, we saw another moose and, of course, lots of bison. It was a fantastic last day that, once again, ended with a delicious meal. And because we could sleep in the next morning we stayed up a little later and had some adult beverages and played games! Eric and I thank Dani and Erick so much for such a great experience! We look forward to going back!<br />

I think it's simply because it's part of the US and when I go overseas I want something "exotic", something unfamiliar. Ignorant. That's what I was. What I learned on my recent visit to O'ahu and Maui is that Hawaii IS exotic and nothing like life on the mainland. The people of Hawaii have such a uniqueness about them - a happy, relaxed, coolness. They seem to be more in harmony with their environment than anyplace else I've visited. And let me show you why (hopefully you love green grass, blue waters, and brilliant sunsets)!<br />

OMG! Have you ever seen a banyan tree?? They are about the coolest damn things I've ever seen! They are a type of fig tree that grows roots from it's branches. They start out looking like a vine, but then they root into the ground and start to look like an entirely separate tree. Look!<br />

It was an overcast and rainy day in Maui when we landed. We decided to drive up to <a href="https://www.nps.gov/hale/index.htm" target="_blank">Haleakala Crater</a>. It is a 27 mile drive of winding switchbacks. It was so cloudy all the way up that we didn't think we would even be able to see anything once we got to the summit. However, we crested a hill and the sun was shining above the clouds. We were on Mars!<br />

We did (another) sunset whale-watching cruise. We did see some whales but they were pretty far off in the distance so no whale photos on this outing.<br />

On Sunday we did an incredible snorkeling/whale watching trip with <a href="http://www.sailtrilogy.com/" target="_blank">Trilogy</a>. We set out around 8 or 9 that morning and were out all day, having breakfast, lunch, and cocktails on the boat. The snorkeling was good, but the whale watching was phenomenal! I only got a couple of decent shots, but I'm on a mission now to do more whale photography!<br />

I hope to visit again. I want to see many more whales. And I would love to go to the Big Island to see the lava-flow. Until then...Aloha!<br />

For the first time in our 12 years together Eric and I laid on a beach and sipped cocktails. Even though the rain came in shortly thereafter, it only added to the experience. And for our final evening Fiona and Ossiel hosted a delicious dinner and provided live music on their patio.<br />

The live music, the food, the company, the fur babies - it was a fantastic last night on this wonderfully fulfilling trip. Eric and I made some life-long friends and we look forward to visiting Cuba again. Hope you enjoyed the photos!<br />

Eric and I felt as if we've seen most of Trinidad so we asked Fiona for some ideas on what to do. She advised us to hire a car to take us to a couple places outside the city. But before that she said there was a cool abandoned church we hadn't yet seen, so we started walking that direction.<br />
<br />
Of course I had to take photos of the "hustle and bustle" of the streets of Trinidad along our walk!<br />

We had plans to go to the beach the following day - our last day. And Fiona and Ossiel were cooking a big dinner tomorrow night. So we knew this was likely our last time in the city. It was a great ending to a wonderful day exploring Trinidad.<br />

We awoke Monday morning in our new home-away-from-home, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=casa%20los%20mangos" target="_blank">Casa Los Mangos</a>, to the chickens and roosters and hens (I don't really know the difference!) and all the little birds of Trinidad singing their morning music. Eric had breakfast with Fiona while I got ready for the day (girly-girl!). Then I walked around the tranquil property and took some photos.<br />

Thus ends our first full day in Trinidad. We did have a chance during the day to Facebook Messenger with friends and family so that was nice...it had been a while! Two days remaining in our trip...stay tuned if you're not bored yet!<br />

We had a driver coming to collect us at the hotel between 2:00 and 2:30 to take us to Trinidad. We got all of our bags packed, checked out of our room, left our luggage with the bell boy, and went to explore more of Havana one last time.<br />
<br />
There was a flea market going on in the plaza near the hotel on this beautiful Sunday morning. I found a Spanish Hemingway book that I brought home with me.<br />

I heard roosters and saw men down the way a bit so I went to check it out. At first I was certain they were about to sacrifice the rooster! But I found out from our bartender that they were preparing them for a cock fight by cutting off their red combs (I mean...nearly as bad).<br />

I walked around the alley a bit and found some interesting art. I even bought a photo from a Cuban photographer who had some great work in his shop.<br />

304 was too full and they weren't allowing anyone else inside, so we just popped into a little sports bar next door and ate something that tasted great but was the beginning of my stomach issues...or perhaps it was the ice accumulated over the days. I don't know...but it wasn't fun. <br />

Back in the lobby of the Hotel Ambos Mundos I let the Concierge know that we were waiting on a driver to take us to Trinidad and pointed out where we were sitting. A little after 2pm she came over with a driver, who spoke no English, and said he was there to take us to our Casa Particular in Trinidad. I knew we were traveling with another couple so we met the young Irish couple and we all dragged our luggage through the streets to our driver's car. It took a bit of Tetris but we finally got the luggage in the trunk and off we went on this four hour drive. A little less than two hours into the drive we heard a "pop" and our driver pulled off the road. Apparently his gas line had broken from the gas pedal. He got on his cell phone and spoke in very fast Spanish to someone and we soon determined that there was another car coming for us. Until then, he released the clutch and we coasted down the road at about 5mph, being passed by other cars, horses, bicycles, etc. And really not 100% sure what was going on due to the language barrier! Luckily we were all good humored about it and each time something passed us we burst into laughter and so did the driver! LOL! He then got a phone call where he turned around and asked if I was Brittany. Yes. But that's all I got. Finally another driver appeared and both cars pulled to the side of the road while we changed out cars. This driver did not speak English either, but he, too, received a phone call and asked if I was Brittany.<br />

It didn't take long to figure out, however, that all of our luggage was NOT going to fit in this trunk! Luckily our newest driver had a piece of rope and he was able to tie the trunk down. And off we went. <br />

Another two hours later (at least) we pulled up to the Irish couple's hotel. As they were getting their luggage a third driver pulled up and informed us that he was our original driver and Eric and I should have been with him from the beginning! We got into his car and he drove us less than 5 minutes to our casa particular, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CasaLosMangos/" target="_blank">Casa los Mangos</a>. Fiona, the owner, was there and so relieved to see us nearly two hours later than she expected! She had learned of the error earlier and that's what the phone calls had been about. LOL!<br />

We met her husband, Ossiel, and they showed us to our room and had a welcome daiquiri for us.</div>

Thus completes our very humorous journey from Havana to Trinidad! A trip that should have lasted four hours but was closer to six! Stay tuned for more on our time in Trinidad and with Fiona and Ossiel.<br />

If you read about how night three ended you'll understand why we slept in a bit on this beautiful Saturday morning! We met Erick out front of our hotel, which was heaving with tourists waiting in line to go up to the 5th floor to see the room (right above ours) where Hemingway lived. We walked in a new (to me) direction and I was so surprised when the road opened up to a beautiful plaza called Plaza de la Catedral. The first thing you'll notice is the beautiful Catedral de San Cristobal taking center stage of the plaza. The cathedral was once described by novelist Alejo Carpentier as "music set in stone". <br />

We arrived at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Oreilly-304/878857758867325" target="_blank">O'Reilly 304</a> and scored a seat at the bar. There was a one hour limit at the bar, which was fine because Yoandy was on his way to collect us to take us to our nice dinner. And the bar was the BEST seat to see the amazing mixologists create their masterpieces!<br />

Okay, this post is ending soon, I promise! The night ended with reservations at <a href="http://otramaneralahabana.com/en/" target="_blank">Otramanera</a>. Yoandy was kind enough to take us to dinner and arranged to pick us up a few hours later. I picked this restaurant because the owner was the sommelier at the world famous (now closed) <a href="http://elbulli.com/" target="_blank">elBulli</a>! So you know I had to take food porn!<br />

And then I got to meet Alvaro Diez Hernandez! He told us that his wife is Cuban and once el Bulli closed that they decided to try the "food thing" in Havana. We talked a bit about wine. He said his favorite California wine is currently <a href="https://wentevineyards.com/" target="_blank">Wente</a>. I told him it was an amazing meal and then we moved onto dessert!<br />

As we left this wonderful dinner, we saw a place next door that piqued our interest. Unfortunately they were closed, but I'll leave you with the name of the establishment:<br />

We met our new life-long friend, Erick, on the rooftop of our hotel and game-planned for the day. We walked to Erick's house where we were meeting up with his friend, Yoandy, who was to be our driver.<br />
<br />
The next few shots are randoms along our walk from Ambos Mundos to Erick's. I love old doors, btw!<br />

This photo requires more than just a caption. This, my friends, is a headless chicken in a plastic bag. Thus begins where being with a local brought so much more knowledge and meaning to our trip. Erick explained that this is a ritual of the <a href="http://santeriachurch.org/our-services/ritual-and-sacrifice/" target="_blank">Santeria</a> faith. They believe that by sacrificing a chicken it gets rid of evil spirits. <br />

This building is actually where Erick lives with his mother, sister, and sister's boyfriend. Erick's mother is a doctor. You might be shocked to learn that doctors in Cuba make around 60CUC per month - equivalent to about $60 or $70 per month in the US. Doctors are provided housing so this is a government owned building and is a bit nicer than other homes. Erick graciously invited us into his home where, on this day, we got to meet his three cats and his dog. Later in the trip we were lucky enough to get to meet his mother.<br />

We left the house and met Yoandy out front. Yoandy did not really speak any English but we bonded with him right away just as we did with Erick. He drove us out to Hemingway's home, <a href="http://www.hemingwaycuba.com/finca-la-vigia.html" target="_blank">Finca Vigia</a>. This was an amazing, amazing experience for me so please forgive while I indulge!<br />

My next place on the list was not only new to us, but also to Erick and Yoandy. They were not aware of the famous artist, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Fuster" target="_blank">Jose Rodriguez Fuster</a>, who has built what is called Fusterlandia. This colorful neighborhood is in a part of Havana called Jaimanitas. We saw colorful cars and colorful homes and colorful people! Here is a look at some of Fuster's creativity.<br />

After looking at art in the hot sun we were ready for lunch. Thanks to "<a href="http://helencho.tumblr.com/post/130032225761/list-of-locations-from-parts-unknown-cuba" target="_blank">Parts Unknown</a>" I had already earmarked the restaurant, <a href="http://www.santypescador.com/restaurante/" target="_blank">Santy Pescador</a>. Eric and I NEVER would have found this place with out the help of Erick and Yoandy! It was hidden in the back of a house - no signage. We found some kids playing and Erick asked them in Spanish if we were in the right area and they pointed us to a nondescript door.<br />

As we were leaving the John Lennon Park, I saw more evidence of the Santeria faith - another chicken, and a woman dressed all in white, as they must do the first week they accept the faith.<br />

After the park we made a quick stop at the Rum Museum and then we parted ways with Erick and Yoandy to change for our big night out. Eric and I walked to <a href="http://www.hotel-saratoga.com/" target="_blank">Hotel Saratoga</a> where Bey and Jay stay. We had drinks in the bar until Erick and Yoandy showed up. <br />

So, this night was an epic night! The place we went is called <a href="http://www.fac.cu/" target="_blank">Fabrica de Arte Cubano</a> and I've never seen anything quite like it here in the US. It opens at 8pm and we got there shortly thereafter and there was already a queue. As you are let inside you are handed a drink card. Each time you get a drink, the bartender stamps your card and you pay as you leave. Essentially, this is a huge warehouse that has art, live music, bars, dance lessons, dining, more art, and more bars. It was fantastic.<br />

The night got late. We met a really nice Swiss kid who was traveling alone for his first time. We met this fun group of people. We drank lots of mojito's and beers. We got Cuban "fast food" on our way home - Yoandy was our designated driver. We got to our hotel after 2am. It was a night we won't forget after a day of making wonderful memories.<br />

We showered and went to the lobby where we met our driver for the day, Humberto. Humberto spoke English with a VERY thick accent so, personally, I only got about 80% of what he shared with us about Cuba that day! His car was parked on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malec%C3%B3n,_Havana" target="_blank">Malecon</a> so we walked there and headed out of Havana for our adventure! As we drove through Havana Humberto pointed out the various municipalities, Centro Habana, Vedado, and the wealthier Miramar.<br />
<br />
About an hour into our drive we stopped in a small city called Soroa. But first, let me tell you about the drive. The majority of the cars in Cuba are an amalgam of various makes and models. When something breaks on the car (or on anything at all), there is no money to fix it or to buy a new one so they must improvise. And I mentioned in yesterday's post that tires are rare and have to be brought in from other places. Therefore, as they navigate the roads, some paved, some not, they are extremely careful to avoid any rough pavement, potholes, etc. At times we would brake suddenly so that I thought there must be an animal in the road - nope, it was a rough patch. Eric and I believe that Cubans must be <i>the</i> most cautious drivers in the world!<br />
<br />
So, Soroa. This was a surprise stop to us but Humberto knew we had a little extra time before our scheduled horseback ride so he dropped us off here for about an hour. We first paid 2CUC each to hike back to a <i>cascada</i>, or waterfall, called El Salto de Soroa.<br />

Across the street from the <i>cascada</i> was the <i>orquideario, </i>or orchidarium, where they grow over 700 types of orchids. These are just a few of the photos I took of just some of the species. Just don't ask me to name them!<br />

We still had about an hour and a half drive to get to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi%C3%B1ales" target="_blank">Vinales</a> where we were doing a horseback tour of the valley. We, very carefully, navigated our way to the tour group, <a href="http://www.knowingvinales.com/en1/" target="_blank">Knowing Vinales</a>, and got on our horses. Mine was named Cuba Libre and Eric's was named Mojito! Our guide was Yosvany. Interesting fact about his name, it is pronounced Josvany and there is a generation of Cuban's who's names were spelled with a "y" but are pronounced with a "j" and they are known as "The Y Generation".<br />

We rode our horses through Vinales Valley to a tobacco and coffee plantation. I tried photographing some of the farm houses as we rode, but it turns out it's difficult to get a steady photo while on horseback!<br />

When US citizens were first allowed to travel to Cuba last year, I knew I wanted to go. First, I am a big fan of Ernest Hemingway and I wanted to see where he had lived and loved. Second, I knew the opportunity for great photography was vast. Third, I feared that the longer I waited to visit, the less of the "real" Cuba I would be able to experience.<br />
<br />
What I came away with was so much more than any of that. I am still searching for the words to describe how I feel and what I experienced. I hope my pictures will help tell my story. I think that my photos change as our trip goes on. Eric and I were lucky enough to meet new friends and fully immerse ourselves into the Cuban culture. Although Africa was my life-long dream trip, this trip moved me in ways I never expected. In Africa we spent so much time doing (wonderful!) things that we were unable to spend as much time learning the culture of the different places we visited. In Cuba we learned so much from the people, I hope I can express it here.<br />
<br />
Day one began with a red-eye flight from Phoenix to Atlanta, on which neither of us were able to get much sleep. We had a 4 hour layover in Atlanta and luckily had access to a lounge where I got about an hour or two of shut-eye. Then we boarded the 90 minute flight to Havana.<br />
<br />
Customs was a relatively easy process. Waiting on our luggage we saw Cubans arriving with TV's, air conditioners, and lots of car tires - some of the many items we learned they cannot get in their country. Once outside the airport we had to wait for almost an hour in a line to exchange our money into CUC's.<br />

<br />
Once we had our CUC's we got a taxi to take us to our hotel. Havana is a relatively large city consisting of 15 municipalities and we stayed in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Havana" target="_blank">Old Havana</a>, or <i>La Habana Vieja. </i>We stayed in <a href="http://www.hotelambosmundos.info/" target="_blank">Hotel Ambos Mundos</a> where Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote from 1932 to 1939.<br />

Once we were checked into our room we went to the rooftop bar. This rooftop is supposed to be one of the best WiFi spots around and Eric was trying to get in touch with his Cuban friend, Erick. We ordered cocktails, got a light lunch, and listened to some live music while taking in the views of Havana.<br />

We were walking toward <a href="http://www.floridita-cuba.com/" target="_blank">El Floridita</a>, where Hemingway would drink his favorite daiquiri's. By the time we got there, it was heaving with people and we had been up for about 36 hours so I just took some photos and we walked back toward our hotel. <br />

We decided to stop off for one more drink before going back to our room. We found a quiet little bar at <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111673787" target="_blank">Hotel Marques de Prado Ameno </a>and ordered a rum daiquiri and a mojito. The bartender spoke a bit of English and talked to us about Cuba. He told us that the touristy resort spot, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varadero" target="_blank">Varadero,</a> was off limits to Cubans until 2009 when Raul Castro lifted the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111673787" target="_blank">ban</a>. He also told us how much Cubans respect Americans (his opinion, of course). And as we left he thanked us for coming in and said "Remember, Cubans love America!" A great ending to a great first (half) day!<br />

Of course, even though it was a work trip, I had my camera in tow. I was so excited to see the Fall colors of that region! Funny how things work, though. I would be driving on the Interstate and the sun would be shining and the colors were phenomenal! Vibrant reds like I've never seen, oranges and yellows, so beautiful. But as soon as I would find a place to pull off the
views were either blocked or it would begin to rain. I did my best to
capture what I could. But I definitely want to visit again on my own
personal time and get some better photos!<br />

But better late than never! These are some photos of our trip to the Northwest. We flew into Portland, OR and spent one day before heading to Willamette wine country where we enjoyed some delicious pinots! After a few days of wine tasting, followed by two concerts at the Gorge Amphitheater, we ended our trip with a day in Coeur d'Alene, ID and a night in Spokane, WA. Three states in 6 days! Enjoy the photos!<br />

I so enjoy seeing more and more of this beautiful country. Each state, each city even, has it's own unique quality and it's so fun to explore and find what the locals love. I look forward to our next adventure...wherever that may be!<br />

<i><span style="color: magenta;">"I cried over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts. The
field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper
sunburned woman, the mother of the year, the taker of seeds. The
northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes, new beautiful
things come in the first spit of snow on the northwest wind, and the
old things go, not one lasts."<br />

It was my first time visiting this beautiful state. After my appointments on Tuesday, I drove 90 minutes to one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen...Yellowstone National Park. I wish Eric had been with me. I wish I had had more time to spend exploring. I wish I had seen a bear (from a great distance!) It was a quick trip but I hope to someday go back and see more of this beautiful national treasure.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from that trip. Enjoy!<br />

Overall, Montana was a little too slow-paced for my tastes. But Yellowstone was amazing and I hope to go back! I had never experienced hot springs before so I was amazed at how HOT they were...I got a facial just standing near them and the smell was so strong. I saw lots of deer but no bear or moose...I see a camping trip in my future. In an RV and NOT a tent...you best believe!<br />

<i><span style="color: magenta;">April 25, 1805<br />
I ascended the hills from whence I had a most pleasing view of the
country, perticularly of the wide and fertile vallies formed by the
missouri and the yellowstone rivers, which occasionally unmasked by the
wood on their borders disclose their meanderings for many miles in their
passage through these delightfull tracts of country. . . . The whol
face of the country was covered with herds of Buffaloe, Elk &
Antelopes; the deer are also abundant, but keep themselves more
concealed in the woodland. The buffalo Elk and Antelope are so gentle
that we pass near them while feeding, without apearing to excite any
alarm among them, and when we attract their attention, they frequently
approach us more nearly to discover what we are, and in some instances
pursue us a considerable distance apparently with that [in] view.

This is a post of feelings. I probably won't even have the guts to share this. But I'm overcome with emotion and I have to get it out. I just came home from the gym in tears. The news was on (which is a FIRST at my gym) and I was watching the survivors tell their stories. I watched our great President stand up against political jargon (aka...bullshit, aka...distractions). I watched a story unfold of a man who seemingly had homosexual desires but because of his religion and upbringing, he would rather kill that which tempted him than live out his true life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And so here we are again. Another mass shooting. Another week or so of gun debates in social media. Another terrorist attack to ruffle our religious feathers. Another hate crime to discuss over dinner. But it will all be forgotten in a number of weeks, or days even. History shows us this is the case. If seeing 20 CHILDREN die at Sandy Hook didn't change things in the long run, I don't think anything will.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And what of the changes that could be made? I tend to see both sides of the argument. I grew up with a father who was a Vietnam vet. He put a gun in my hand at a young age. He taught me the power of a gun and how they are dangerous, but also how they can be fun to shoot in an open Indiana field, and how they can be good for protection. However, as an adult I shot my first semi-automatic weapon and literally burst into tears at the gun range. The power. THE POWER! It was unnecessary. It was too much. My first instinct was that there is NO need for a gun like that in everyday life. For police and military, okay. For me or you? No reason. Oh sure, I can see why people would think they're fun and exciting. But for something that is taking so many lives, is it really that important?? I get the whole 2nd Amendment argument. I do. As normal, law-abiding citizens, we should all have the right to bear arms according to our Constitution. The problem is, we are not all normal, law-abiding citizens. And these guns are easy to get. TOO easy. And these guns can take a number of lives in mere seconds. So where do we find that balance? We cannot just keep arguing the matter and watch more mass shootings occur. Well...I guess we can...and we have. But that doesn't seem right does it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And speaking of not right, let me switch courses a bit and talk about acceptance. Why is acceptance so difficult for some people? Let me say this without meaning any disrespect to my roots: I could have been a racist. Easily. I grew up in a small town in Indiana. Under 20,000 people. We had <i>maybe</i> 2 to 5 black students in my entire high school. I don't think I even knew what gay was. Muslim? That word did not exist in my vocabulary. I think "sheltered" might have been a good term for what I was when I eventually moved to the "big city" of Indianapolis. So imagine my mind (blown!) when I took my 3rd job in the city. At an HIV/AIDS pharmacy. Working alongside gay people! And transgender customers! People living with HIV. People dying of AIDS. I could have been a racist. I could have balked at these people who were not like me or like anyone that I knew. But guess what?! This is when I learned how much I love diversity. This is when I knew how truly stifled I was in my small home town. We are all different! We can find love anywhere! Blacks with whites, men with men, women with women. I found my passion for life. My gay community opened my eyes and my heart. Maybe that is what makes it even more difficult to understand how someone can feel such hate. This is the very community that made me accept others for who they are, and this man wants to kill them?! Although, as I mentioned, it is sounding more and more like he was one of them. And how sad that he felt that was too awful to admit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All this in the midst of this Presidential race. My thoughts are all over the place. My emotions raw. I do not hate. I do not hate blacks, whites, gay, straight, Muslim, Christian. I do not hate Donald Trump. But I am frightened of him. I do not think he is necessarily a bad person. I do not think he is racist. But I do think that he likes to incite fear and hate, and that terrifies me. We have so much hate in this country as it is. How can more hate ever be good? How can fear-mongering be good? It cannot. And he frightens me. But, again, I get it. I see both sides. While I do support Hillary (2nd to Bernie), I do see why people do not like her. I understand the controversy. I understand the trepidation. So, we are left choosing the lesser of two evils? Gah! I'm so tired of hearing that phrase. I don't want any evil. And maybe I'll just end it on that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do not want any more evil! Stop hating! Stop shooting! Stop fighting! START ACCEPTING ONE ANOTHER! LoVE is LoVE is LoVE is LoVE is LoVE is LoVE. </span><br />
