Comments about GigaTent Fanatsy Palace Tent for Children:
This is a great little tent. I used it for a 6-day backpacking excursion in Teton last fall and it just performed the whole time. The mountain lions loved the little flags on the roof. It's a lightweight and packable shelter with a real sense of style.

The lack of a rainfly was a concern, but its a minimalist shelter... so some sacrifice is expected. Also, couldn't find a gear loft for this tent? What gives?

The connecting passage is awesome for gear storage and stinky boots. Dual.. makes that triple doors are great so anyone else in the tent doesn't wake you to answer nature's call.

that's a great looking palace...watch the zippers on the doors though...don't want to break a nail, Europa.

i take a lot of photos of fountains...different types...the interest came from an idea i read in Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titan"...something about emptiness/fulfillment and handicaps.

this one is in Central Park, which i like. it reminds me of home, which is where i am now. i'm leaving soon though. i just need to put my pants on.

and there's nothing wrong with that. i mean we have movies full of toilet scenes and they spent months making videos and drawings of nothing but toilets.
