Swim Fast (Whale) Sharks in the Water, Quintana Roo, Mexico
I asked Lori Gold if she gained any life perspective while swimming with these wide mouthed behemoths. She and I think a lot a like in the grand scheme of nature.

Rolling Right Along At Rollright Stones, Oxforshire, England
With the UK pondering, and perhaps when this publishes, even opening travel to US tourists, I thought I would share a snap of my adventures there. Stonehenge does steal the limelight from these smaller vertical marvels through its scale and mysterious origin story. However, these vertical standing stones and others are all over the UK and even Europe. They are less crowded and have minimal admission fees. Travelers here are often locals. The Rollright Stones are a short drive

Vaccination Anticipation and Hesitation
Is this the moment we've all waited for? I'm not certain that people will be running to get vaccinated from Covid. The accelerated timeline on these vaccine trials makes a lot of people nervous.
