Djúpavík
Djúpavík is a sheltered bay in the Strandir district of northwest Iceland
It is a remote region, largely untouched by modern developments where silence reigns and nature continues to shape a rugged, mountainous landscape.
Djúpavík Hotel is a building that was formerly the living quarters for women working in a herring processing factory that was built in the bay but fell into disuse many years ago.
Multnomah Falls
Very dramatic place in surreal setting, but only minutes from downtown Portland, Multnomah Falls has dozens of looks during the course of a day. The steep valley walls and high latitude allow for shadows and weather to change the way the place looks by the hour.The Falls are 620 feet high, the highest in the U.S.
Bwindi National Park
Home to the mountain gorillas on the Ugandan side of the Virunga Mountains, but also the main village of the pygmies of the Impenetrable Rainforest. Bwindi isn't much, a frontier town blooming with the small amounts of cash left by the rich tourists who trickle through.
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Gehry's building saved the city of Bilbao. To most of us, the Guggenheim Museum is located in Spain, in Bilbao, a shipping city fallen on hard times.
zipolite
Zipolite is famous for being a nude beach where people are in danger of drowning because of ferocious rip tides, as well as a place to go to leave all of your selves firmly behind. You can be only one person in Zipolite: Whomever you wish to be.
Beirut, Lebanon
Everyone says, dreamily, "it's the Paris of the Middle East." It's not. Beirut is its own funky animal: tense, beautiful, cracking with growth, assaulted by civil strife, graffitied with advertising for Starbucks and Applebees and perfumes from Paris, but without jobs for women, without futures for the young people bristling with university degrees.
Glacier National Park
People rhapsodize about Glacier, but why? The pretty peaks and bright blue lakes?
Calakmul
Mayan ruin on the highway between Chetumal and Escarcega on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Highway runs along the Guatemala border.

Currently in the imperial city.
I am what?
Where?
The who part I understand.
That's why I am.
But how did I get there?
That's what I'm figuring out.
:::: :::: ::::
I learned to put the party into my life after spending years being the life of the party. Every moment should be different if my experiment to slow time will ever become a piece of literature. And this year was the slowest year of my life, filled with singular moments, memorable situations. Time is slowing down. The evidence is my life!
