Lake Worth Beach FL: Things were getting heated! Then they got really hot!





Visiting The Benzaiten Center for the Arts in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I stepped into this vibrant space, I was captivated by the creativity and passion that filled the air. The highlight of my visit was the hot glass demonstration led by the renowned international artist Eli Cecil. Watching Eli work was nothing short of mesmerizing. His skillful techniques and artistry brought the molten glass to life, transforming it into stunning creations right before our eyes. Eli’s engaging narration throughout the demonstration made the experience even more enriching, as he shared insights about the artistry and science behind glassblowing. The atmosphere at Benzaiten is both welcoming and inspiring. The center itself is beautifully designed, providing a perfect backdrop for the artistry on display. I also loved exploring the various artworks and installations scattered throughout the space, each telling its own unique story. If you're in the area, I highly recommend visiting The Benzaiten Center for the Arts. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the combination of incredible talent and engaging storytelling will leave you inspired and wanting to learn more about the art of glassblowing. Don’t miss this gem in Lake Worth Beach! he Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts was the vision of artist and entrepreneur, JB Berkow.

Travel with Rolando to our  🇺🇸 U.S. National Parks by Rolando Chang Barrero Google Local Guide and LGBTQ Traveler America's State Parks Traveling through America’s National Parks as a gay solo adventurer with my dog Bella has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. These landscapes—towering mountains, ancient forests, wild canyons, sacred deserts—welcome everyone with open skies and quiet trails where you can breathe, reflect, and simply be yourself . Each park becomes a sanctuary of freedom, a place where Bella can sniff new worlds and I can feel completely grounded, alive, and connected. From the sunrise glow over the Grand Canyon to the blue-green reflections at Glacier, these journeys remind me that our public lands belong to all of us, and that every trail holds space for joy, healing, and the courage to keep exploring. ____________ Acadia National Park Maine Explore Rugged Cliffs and Coastal Beauty at Acadia National Park. ____________ American Samoa National Park Ame...

Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Preserve Florida Four Hours Inside the Quiet By Rolando Chang Barrero Travel with Rolando and Adventures with Bella More National Parks Welcome to Travel with Rolando! Subscribe to YouTube     Support me at Patreon I ended up spending more than four unhurried hours inside Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Preserve , and it still felt like I left too soon. This place doesn’t rush you. It quietly invites you to slow your breathing, soften your footsteps, and let your eyes adjust to subtleties—ripples in dark water, the flick of wings in the distance, the way light filters through sawgrass and cypress.

Staycation in Boynton Beach, Florida

Yesterday I spent the morning immersed in the quiet beauty of  Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Preserve , one of South Florida’s last remaining expanses of Everglades wetlands. Boardwalk trails cut through sawgrass marshes alive with birds, turtles, and the occasional alligator gliding silently through the water. The preserve offers a rare chance to slow down, breathe, and experience Florida as it once was—raw, peaceful, and deeply connected to the land. After soaking in the wetlands, I made a practical (and delicious) stop before hitting the road. At Bedner’s Farm , I stocked up on fresh, locally grown produce—ripe tomatoes, citrus, greens, and a few road-trip staples perfect for RV life. There’s something grounding about supporting a local farm and carrying fresh food with you as you travel; it turns the road into an extension of home. With the fridge full and the Everglades still on my mind, I rolled on feeling nourished in every sense. #Loxahatchee #Everglades...
