What Does The Road Look Like on the Way to Mount Cook? It looks like this. :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
I took this from the Gritti Palace, which is a truly beautiful bar with truly the slowest delivery of gin & tonics in the entire world. When I used to drink, I would go here almost every day with my friend Rene and we would order all sorts of concoctions, but mostly gin & tonics. It didn't seem to matter, but all drinks took at least 30 minutes to arrive. So, rather than wait to finish our drinks, we would go up and order as soon as our new drinks arrived. We would take turns and often use different tops and accents so they didn't know it was the same two fools over and over again. Venice, Italy
In the foreground is one of my favorite sculptures that appeals to my helpless romantic side from Burning Man in 2019 called "In Every Lifetime I Will Find You" by Michael Benisty. In the distance, the temple burns on Sunday night. The temple is a special place because this is where people go to grieve for anybody or anything that may have emotionally impacted them over the recent past. It could be anything from a family dog dying, a relative, coming out, or any sort of minor or major trauma. Inside the temple, people write messages on the wood or hang up photos of loved ones that have passed away. It is a quiet, sombre occasion, with 80,000 people surrounding the temple in silence as they share a communal sense of "letting go." It is also a beautiful event and reminds me that we don't have enough rituals like this in the real world for letting go with the support of friends and complete strangers. Burning Man, Nevada
