Our tour guide in Antigua.
During our bus tour she was answering questions from us and one came up about their national anthem. She said "It's beautiful and I'm not the best singer but if you'd like I'll sing it for you". She sang their national anthem and by the time she was finished she had tears streaming down her cheeks because she loves her country that much. Very touching to say the least.
It really was a good tour and she made it even better. I noticed when we got off the bus the tourists had compensated her well and she certainly deserved it.
Who could resist such a beautiful smile.... certainly not me! She is one of hundreds of college kids that 'work' Alaska during the summer, saving money, having adventures and honing their public / people skills.
I didn't get a chance to get her name... we were interrupted by others with questions about the tours. With a smile like that.... she will do well in this world!

Guiding airbound travel along the icy rocks of the Northern floating ice field, the old "I C Rocks" lightship – lovingly nicknamed „Trusty Rusty“ – has been a fixture for more than twenty years. Every airship pilot rejoices at the sight of her fire-red hull, for this signaled that arrvial in Belleville airspace was only a few more hours away. Also, without her bright light, the sharp edges of the floating ice rocks (also known as „skycicles“) would spell certain disaster for most airships – especially blimp-based transportation.
Her crew of four spends more than a year at a time on board, bracing fierce weather conditions with temperatures sometimes falling below - 40° C giving the daily maintenance and de-icing of the light tower prime importance.

I took a guided tour to Delphi and bus ride from Athens was about 2 hours and 30 minutes. We stopped at a little town where got out to stretch out our legs, buy bottled water, and eat a few snacks before continuing our scenic route to Delphi. Once we arrived, our tour guide showed us several ancient ruins of Delphi. She showed us the treasury where the Greek city states would come in and put their treasure, gold, and money as part of an offering to the Greek god Apollo. We also saw the remains of Apollo's temple, theatre, and stadium. Then we had a short tour of the nearby museum. After having lunch, we saw the remains of the Oracle before returning to Athens.
The lightning bugs(fireflies) are really popping right now in the southeast. This is really a special time of year for me. I really like soaking it all in because during the first 27 years or so of my life in Montana I had never seen a lightning bug.

Les 2 jeunes étaient sympa. Une fois arrivés à mon niveau ils ont eu envie de discuter un petit moment.
