here's a gay flag hanging off the streets of san fran. gay pride is really big here, and san fran houses one of the world's largest population of gays and lesbians. while i was there, the gay pride celebrations and parade were going on. men were holding hands and kissing other men.
that's me, sitting at one of the cafes along the streets of san francisco. they have gazillions of these charming little cafes around. the weather is beautiful, so most people sit al fresco to enjoy the cool breeze and a cup of coffee.


that's the world famous golden gate in san fran.. i hopes you've heard of it. haha. its the bridge that magneto lifted in x-men 3. while its named the golden gate, its painted red so that the motorists can see the bridge in foggy weather. golden gate is almost always foggy and windy and very very cold because its built over the pacific ocean.

here's a view from the golden gate, onto the island of Sausalito. once you get off the golden gate, its about 10 degrees warmer on the other side. amazing, isn't it? i love how the sunshine gently reflects upon the shoreline of the hills in Sausalito. i told you san fran is beautiful.

this is yosemite, a national park near the state of nevada. its got beautiful lush greenery and lots of mountains, formed over millions of years through earth movement. i think this one is called the disappearing waterfall. its so high up that water turns into water vapor once it falls from the top to the bottom, simply because its so high up.


i visited the island of alcatrez, which once housed one of the world's toughest and inhumane prison. these 6 convicts attempted to break out the prison, resulting in one of the bloodiest moments in alcatrez history.


this is taken in the grand canyon. i made a trip there while i was in las vegas. the grand canyon is an amazing place. when i step near the side of the cliff and look down, it totally takes my breath away. i don't know how this guy does it.


that's taken inside a las vegas casino. i told you, sex and money and more sex. the people in casinos are just mindlessly jamming in coins into the jackpot machines. please never be like them.
