  The Blue WhalePerhaps the largest animal to have ever lived, the blue whale can grow to be 100 ft (30.5 m) long and weigh as much as 200 tons.

 World's Fair Starts in Seattle, Washington (1962)Hosted at the dawn of the Space Age, the 1962 World's Fair featured a glittering array of futuristic technology. Nearly 10 million people came to see the new cars and gadgets or ride to the top of the new Space Needle. While its technology was advanced, the fair anticipated none of the social changes soon to come—the society of the future looked like that of 1950s, but with gyrocopters. Why did US President John F. Kennedy lie, claiming to be too sick to attend the closing ceremony? More... Discuss |

ReplyDeleteNeither is in Seattle. They were both taken during our trip to Ecuador on separate occasions. The first was just North of the city where we went swimming in a river one day and the other was outside the house one evening. It was still sort of raining and the sun was sort of peaking out and VOILA!!!!! Rainbow!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow that appeared after Tim Russert's memorial service last week reminded me of this one.
We are finally getting some summer (or at least what they call summer out here) weather and we are having a blast.
Enjoy!
