Watch this, it's uplifting and the photographs are timed with the lyrics (I think...)

Everyone Loves a Belly Dancer

Who doesn't love a belly dancer? This woman just couldn't get enough of my photographing her. It was lovely. Oh, how I love willing subjects!

No one really knows how belly dancing got started, but some have speculated it began with the Greeks. It was believed to have something to do with religious rites.

In Saudi Arabia, the dance isn't to be seen by men at all. If men can't see it why do they bother with it at all?

Just in case if you want to speculate more about the history of belly dancing there is a time line of the art, which details the evolution of the dance.

Belly dancing in California, as you can see from this picture, can be performance art, as it's staged in Santa Monica Place, a bustling shopping area on the coast just outside of Los Angeles.

Missing the islands...

It's an economic fever that runs high. Very little traveling for this Digital Traveler. The economy is giving my back account indigestion. I'm hoping to go on some more trips so I can get this blog going again. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to enjoy California! It's not such a bad place.
