Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 32,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 12 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

This is one of my favorite castles due to the growth of the plants makes it look a little mysterious.

Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, is Christianity’s most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year. Orthodox Christians use the Julian calendar to calculate when Easter will occur and typically celebrate the holiday a week or two after the Western churches, which follow the Gregorian calendar.

Washington DC is set to make history starting to issue      marriage license to all couples who apply.

”(WASHINGTON)  The Supreme Court on  Tuesday refused to stop the District of  Columbia’s gay marriage law, freeing the city to issue its first marriage licenses to same-sex couples the following day.”

Below from www.wikipedia.com

• In NewHampshire, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.marriages for same-sex couples are legal and currently performed.
• The Coquille Indian Tribe in Oregon also grants same-sex marriage.

State(s) which previously granted same-sex marriage licenses:

• In California, same-sex marriages were performed between June 16, 2008 and November 4, 2008, after the California Supreme Court held the statutes limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples violated the state constitution; however, the California electorate then approved a voter initiative that reinstated the ban on same-sex marriage as part of California’s constitution. TheCalifornia Supreme Court upheld the voter-approved constitutional ban. Today, all same-sex unions are given the benefits of marriage under California law, although only those performed as marriages before November 5, 2008 are granted the designation “marriage”.^[1]

States which recognize same-sex marriage but do not grant same-sex marriage licenses:

• In New York, Rhode Island, and Maryland, same-sex marriages are recognized, not performed.

On the outskirts is a park called silver springs that is much fun with its glass bottom boats and water so pure you can see the bottom of the river.  There is also Ocala national forest that is too good to pass up.  You can see many cracker old florida homesteads, alligators, monkeys, tropical plants; and etc to make you loose track of time.

After falling in love with central florida… I now consider this my part time residence and where my writers cottage is.
