Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.
So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…
Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!
Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

Only the male has this long iridescent tail.Booted Racket-tail has a larger range, as it can be found in the Andes of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. Again, only the male has these spectacularly long tail streamers, although both sexes sport the white puffy “boots”.
Can you believe this beautiful creature exists? And this one:
So, so many thanks for sharing these pictures. I hope you’ll consider a guest post or two to share some knowledge and explain part of your expertise – I know many of us would have questions.
