My Rare One and I have signed up as volunteers all this week at the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatic Championships, so I won't be around the blogosphere much until IGLA ends this weekend.
The City of Edmonton and our local LGBT swim team, "Making Waves," are hosting this big event for the first time and everyone is keen to put our best foot forward! LGBT swimmers, divers, synchro clubs and water polo teams are coming from all over the world to attend. The furthest are coming from Australia and New Zealand.
And hey, if you've ever been curious to see my city Edmonton, its surrounding areas and its many attractions (including some Pride Festival and gay nightlife footage),* then take a look at this IGLA promotional video!
*(also lots of half-naked men if you're into that)
Have fun! The video clip does make me want to visit Edmonton. The city looks like tons of fun and the surrounding landscape is stunning!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for successful tournaments and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy. Sounds like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteMary
You both are going to have a great time!!! Enjoy, enjoy and see you when you get back! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun. I also appreciate teh perfect name for an LGBT swimming team that is "Making Waves". I hope the event is a huge success.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a hoot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend a hot summer! I never realized Edmonton was so happening!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous city! have a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWow. Thanks for the heads up about the plethora of nearly naked men. Hardly any nearly naked women, sadly.
ReplyDeleteYour city looks beautiful, and the surrounding area makes me want to move to Edmonton. Good job, videographer!
😄😃😀😊☺️😉😘
ReplyDeleteThe events should be amazing
What e said. Also no naked squireels. A bit disappointing.Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteMy wife wanted to visit Edmonton when we were in Banff many years ago but the thought of a very, very large shopping mall worried me.
Loved the music! I hope you have a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteLGBT swim Olympic: who knew? Kudos to your and your Rare One for hosting. I spent one day in Edmonton on my way to the Canadian Forces Winter Bush Survival School. Didn't see much except bars... sailors liberty.
ReplyDeleteThe city looks great and I hope the Championship is a great success.

ReplyDeleteI am more into fully naked than half naked men.
ReplyDeleteIn the interests of balance there should be half naked ladies too. Have a great event!

Great video, Debra! One of these days, I have to get to Edmonton. I've never seen it! Have a great time volunteering this weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice that you are volunteering - sounds fun!

ReplyDeleteEdmonton looks gorgeous! ♥
You and Birdie both made me smile about the naked men. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteHey Debra,
ReplyDeleteI reckon things went swimmingly. Edmonton is one of the nicest cities I've flown over on the way to Vancouver :)
Take it easy, eh.

This may be the migraine tricking me but I don't think so...I'm pretty sure I saw a blowup doll in one of those shots by the pool. Do they compete too? ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!
I'm more into half-naked women, but any port in a storm, as they say. I've never been to Edmonton, but would like to take a western Canadian road trip before too long.
ReplyDeleteI just saw someone I know and love in that video!! My niece, Elaine!! She is a member of the 'Making Waves' swim team. But, you knew that already, Debra!
ReplyDeleteHope you all have BLAST this weekend!!
Now....GO GET SOAKING WET!
Yes, I knew you'd spot her, Jim! We're having a great time volunteering at IGLA and Elaine is competing as well, in addition to being an organizer.
ReplyDeletewell that looks like a ton of fun - hope you guys have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Edmonton. Hope you have fun.
