SUMMIT COUNTY — For the time in a while, I was able to compile a short photo essay based on the theme of the popular #FriFotos twitter chat, founded by travel pro and all-around good guy @EpsteinTravels. This week’s theme is “exotic,” and I struggled a bit, because when I think about what’s exotic to me, it doesn’t include the places I’ve already been. Instead, I think Madagascar, one of my dream destinations — now THAT’S exotic! But since I haven’t been there yet, I don’t have any photos. So given that conundrum, I broadened my definition just a bit and had some fun with it. For example, the following picture, which shows belly dancers participating in a July 4th parade in a Colorado mountain town. I think that’s just as exotic as a ring-tailed lemur in Madagascar. Join in by searching Twitter for the #FriFotos hashtag and post your own pics. It’s a great way to end the work week and roll into the weekend.
