This not so little critter is called a Tailless Whipscorpion. It’s neither a scorpion nor a spider. Still, it’s one spooky critter and not something you would normally want hanging out under your bathroom sink. Luckily, this one was under our sink down in Yalapa Mexico and not up here at home.
Here’s a quick 360 degree panoramic at the top of Passo Fedai on Stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia. Color print it, loop it together, tape it, then stick your head inside it and spin it around. Just like being there! :')
Here is a panoramic photo from our vacation house in the town of St. Cristina, Italy. The town is located in the middle of the Dolomites. Over to the right is a great example of the amazing mountain formations all around the Dolomites. Following the valley up and to the left leads to Passo Sella and Passo Gardena. The Sella was on the route of the Giro d’Italia this year. ...

Here is a short video of my first bungy jump. It’s from the Kawarau Bridge just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand. I really wish I had had a helmet camera when I was there. That would have made for some great footage. If you have never tried bungy jumping, I highly recommend it. The thrill is unbelievable. As you go through life you become less and less exposed to new and exciting events that push your senses to their limits. Your first bungy jump will do that. ...
I have added a few photos from my trip last year to Oaxaca, Mexico. I traveled there with a group of friends for New Year’s 2001/2002. It’s a beautiful place and I recommend visiting. BBQPlate BBQVendor MountainVillage OldWoman Pulque RedYellowFlowers RestaurantElTopil SpikedDragon
