Happy June! And happy 90th birthday to my grandfather (we celebrated a little early by getting together in May).




The summer festivals have begun, so let the travels begin!



There's a beer festival in Seattle and the Lowes Dog Surfing Competition in California. (Awesome photos of dogs surfing are available at the site!)



There are huge town festivals in Minneapolis and Ithaca.



Venice celebrates its "marriage to the sea" with the Festa Della Sensa, and Dubai hosts an international dance festival.
