2024 Indianapolis 500

This was the warmup lap with the Chevy Corvette Pace Car.   One of the restarts during the race. It was crazy to see how many cars would pass on turn three.  The rain came in before the race. It was raining sideways for 30 minutes.  This is a picture of the Snake Pit. We did see people walking around with gallon milk jugs  ith god knows what mixed up. We learned this is called a BORG. BORG is short for "blackout rage gallon", This was the canal that is in downtown Indy. Very pretty and peaceful.  Driving back from the Indy 500 and I see this billboard shortly after entering Georgia.  So glad to welcome people into the state of Georgia with this non-judgmental billboard. So proud 😏

Vancouver then Disney Cruise to Alaska

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park Purchased  by George MacKay in 1889, the 6,000 acres of forest had a beautiful Capilano river flowing right through the middle of the property. George and his team pulled ropes across the river and erected a suspension bridge. Tam is standing on the Cliffwalk which is 30 stories above the river.  I am on the Cliffwalk and removed the people in the photo with Google Photos Edit application.    Raptors are brought in to show and educate the visitors. A lady sat with this bird on her glove speaking with anyone that would listen. Very cool.  Tam standing on the porch of a 150 year old house cut from logs in the area.  Tam walking over the suspension bridge. The bridge is 450 feet (137 meters) long and moves a lot.  Stanley Park Great place to bike ride and walk along the sea wall. Stanley Park is almost 1,000 acers (400 hectares) in downtown Vancouve...

Cost was $30 and she provided Carbin Beer and Rum Punch. Beautiful island with an inactive volcano that hasn't gone off...

Took 2.5 minutes and spilled a little, but worth...
