The Big Island of Hawaii
I was on the Big Island of Hawaii in February. A month after I left the earth tremors started and subsequently the volcano erupted. Ironically, there was so little going on with the volcano during my visit that I did not bother to go see it.

I expect to be making regular visits to the Bay Area and Northern California in the future.

Houston Gay Pride, 2017
Houston’s Gay Pride Festival was held for the second year downtown in front of City Hall in Houston. This time the police made no attempt to keep participants out of the reflecting pool. There were far more women there than men although I suspect the numbers reversed in the evening for the parade. Temperatures were kept reasonable by rain and clouds making it only almost as hot as hell rather than hotter. The girls were wilder this year than in the past with several sporting pasties.

Luang Prabang, Laos
After leaving Viet Nam I spent a few days in the Luang Prabang area. Although it was fun, I would only recommend this stop if you have a lot of time.

Hoi An is a 45 minute taxi ride from Da Nang. That will cost you only $12. At its center is an old city heavily influenced by the Chinese. It is a major tourist destination.

The sound of roaring motorcycle engines on the Strand, mostly Harley V-Twins, is the sound of happiness. After two rainy days the weather cleared up and all the bikers in Galveston (near Texas) were treated to a perfect day. Lots of bikers and pretty girls here. Thank goodness for pretty bartenders.
This is the first batch of photos, expect more over the next few days. The girl in the pink top below is the daughter of the gal in the large photo above.
