Harry Belafonte appeared on MSNBC yesterday to discuss the Dream Defenders initiative and Stand Your Ground law in Florida. Afterward, the conversation shifted to Jay-Z’s criticism of him in his interview with YN. Last year, Belafonte told The Hollywood Reporter that Hov and Beyoncé “turned their back on social responsibility”. He later said he was willing to meet with the couple to iron out their differences.

This sounds like such a lovely way to begin a road trip! Staying in Ventura seems like a great choice, especially with the opportunity to reconnect with people Shane knew during his mission. Catching up over dinner must have made the first day even more memorable. I also love the simple detail about picking up fresh oranges, as those little local experiences often become part of the best travel memories. Planning transportation in advance, such as arranging a Materuni waterfall for another adventure, can similarly make a trip much more relaxed and enjoyable.
