    Your absolutley Correct @hunnybunny on both counts I've never heard of either But I do so appreciate Great architecture and the history of it.thank you. .I can't make it bigger though :(
    but it certainly is beautiful:)

    @TomPuss -- Loved the video of the drag race between Bugatti Veron and fighter jet. Amazing that the car almost won. Would have won it the plane had to be on the ground at the end instead of zooming by a 1000 m/hr (or maybe a mere 1000 km/hr).
    @Hunnybunny -- Yes, I love the Sagrada Familla, did you go?
    @All -- Managed to go to Santa Barbara for Memorial Day weekend and get there and back with reasonable traffic. Left LA Sat morning and left S.B. this morning (Mon.).
    Played Sandpiper Golf Course -- One of the most beautiful on the CA course, and definitely not easy. @Mumsie would really enjoy it. Has she been around at all?
    Could not smell the oil from the oil spill. In fact, even though Sandpiper is northwest of UC Santa Barbara, NW of Goleta, which is NW of SB, we couldn't even see the fleet of boats cleaning it up.
  • KathyKathy
    Glad to hear you had a nice Memorial day weekend @mvnla2 :)
    uhmm What Oil spill? obviously i haven't been paying attention to the news lately?!

  • KathyKathy

    @Hunnybunny -- Humpf! You mean the cruise boat didn't have a tour prearranged? First time we went (~20??? yrs ago), you couldn't go inside. Last time was on a cruise, and we had a prearranged group tour; no waiting in line. Will look for some pics.
    @Kathy -- There was a huge oil spill from an on-shore pipeline ~30 mi west of Santa Barbara (the coast runs basically E/W there, about a week ago. If you listened to the national news, you got the impression it was practically in SB.
  • KathyKathy
    I'm going to have to look up the Sagrada Familia. .Funny my keyboard is more knowledgeable than I lol it actually predicted i was gonna say that haha
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    @karhy when either you or I win the lottery I'll take you on a tour of the most beautiful places in Europe. Deal?
  • KathyKathy
    Wow @mvnla2 I'm Gonna have to look at that. .it was actually a pipeline huh?
    hmmm i may need to rethink my views on the pipeline. at first when you mentioned 'oil spill'
    my mind automatically came up with an argument in Support of the pipeline
    naturally i assumed it was an oil tanker. .
  • KathyKathy
    Deal @hunnybunny :)

    Well, after having delighted @kathy, annoyed the admins by posting large pictures, discussed cruise ships and Barcelona with @mvnla2, heard nothing from our rodent friend, squeak, I'm off to an early bed, and book...
    To my eternal shame, I'd never read "To Kill a Mockingbird" before. Half way through, and enjoying it.
    Anyone in the US tell what a 'Lane Cake' is? I understood the 'shinny' that was put in it......
  • KathyKathy
    Lol @hunnybunny Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you haha
    I've never read To kill a Mockingbird either. although i Used to be an avid reader. .
    The"squeaker is on vacation lol:)
    have a restful night. .Sweet Dreams
  • KathyKathy
    and No I've never heard of Lane cake ¿

    Hi everyone :D

    @Hunnybunny Awesome pictures! Love the Sagrada Familia ... although I know what it is I've never seen how it looks from the inside :)

    Anyway ... I'm sure it's already Tuesday somewhere. I need a little whiiiiineeee ...
    I have quite an important exam tomorrow morning ... and I've been learning almost for a week and I'm (according to tests I've written before) the best math student in my year so I totally should get an A ... but I'm still somewhat nervous :( :D
  • KathyKathy
    Hi @Annifrid :D That's Awesome news #1 in your class! !
    I'm sure you'll Ace the exam..i know you always get nervous but you'll do fine :)
  • mcc8206mcc8206
    @hunnybunny I loved visiting the Sagrada Familia and would love to go back. I haven't been since 2005, and the sanctuary was still a construction zone for the most part.

    Barcelona is probably my favorite city. At least of the places I've been so far...

    @mvnla2 I haven't played golf once since I moved to SoCal 3 years ago. I really need to get back to it. Would love to play Sandpiper some day, but for now probably need to stay on a less challenging course. :-/

    @annifrid Good luck on your exam!
  • KathyKathy
    @mcc8206 Welcome to the BP:) Haven't seen you here before It's Always nice to see a new face:D

    Hi @annifrid! Nice to see you here in the BP. Please don't be nervous about your math exam, I know you'll ace it with flying colors! So, just to calm your nerves a bit, have a cup of hot cocoa on my tab. Good luck, and let us know how you did, then we'll celebrate!

    Just got home after our West Coast Thunder XVI charity ride for the Riverside National Cemetery. Every year we take part in a parade from the local H-D dealership to the National Cemetery, then on to the Soboba Casino for food, shopping, and a concert. This year there were more than 7,500 bikes that lined up for the parade, stretching for about 1-1/2 miles. Here's the history of why we ride each year: http://www.westcoastthunder.com/ride_history.html

    Paying tribute to our fallen heros for their Ultimate Sacrifice.
  • KathyKathy
    Wow @sweetp that's awesome!! It's nice to know that our dedicated fallen heroes are not forgotten!
  • SweetPSweetP
  • AnnifridAnnifrid
    Thanks for the hot cocoa @SweetP
    Doesn't really calm the nerves, but at least it's delicious :)
  • KathyKathy
    Holy Moley @@sweetp What a gathering! ! it's really encouraging to know there are so many dedicated to support and Rememberance ♡

    @mcc8206 -- Try Brookside golf course (there are 2 I think), right next to the Rose Bowl. Wilson and Harding in Griffith Park are also nice, but they are LA city courses, and you can't reserve unless you are a resident. There is also a nice 9-hole course in Alhambra. Not that familiar with all the courses near you, but there are plenty.
    Where did you live before? 3 years without golf is a LONG time.
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    @annifrid it must be over by now, and I expect you topped the "leader board"
    @sweetp that's an awesome line up of bikes, for a truly awesome cause
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    @mcc8206 I prefer Rome!
  • SweetPSweetP
    Thanks @Kathy and @Hunnybunny. We do it every year.
  • AnnifridAnnifrid

    " Die Piggies "
  • RatRat
    Keep on riding @SweetP.
    I'm sorry @Annifrid. I thought you were female this whole time. Congratz on the test results.
    I'm torn between which I like better Mrs. Bunny. Rome or Barcelona? I'm leaning towards Barcelona, but I've only been there once. I need more data points. It's like NYC and Jackson Hole, WY in the U.S. of A. They both have positives. I'll have to get back to you on this one.
  • mcc8206mcc8206
    @mvnla2 3 years is a really long time! I travel quite a bit for work so sometimes when the weekend rolls around I'm just too pooped to think about playing golf. I did spring for a new pair of golf shoes a few months ago with very good intentions...

    Brookside is 5 minutes from me so I really have no excuse. They have a few clinics coming up so maybe I'll get motivated and show off my new shoes. :-)

    @Annifrid congrats on acing your exam! I bet it feels good to have that behind you!

    @SweetP what a great organization! And an excellent way to observe Memorial Day.

    @Hunnybunny Rome (and the rest of Italy) is still on my bucket list, but a few places are ahead on the list. I'm doing Japan next year, I hope. And really want to visit Scandanavia as well. Actually my travel bucket list is really pretty long... All I need is more money and more vacation time!
  • KathyKathy
    Uhmm I also thought @Annifrid female? I'm sorry Anniftid if i was mistaken?
  • KathyKathy
    lol @mcc8206 Don't We all need More money and more vacation time !!
    Where are you from? @mvnla2 has a very impressive Members Map if you want to have a spot on the ABN members Map is pretty cool to see where everyone is and how many members may reside near you:)
  • mcc8206mcc8206
    @Kathy mvnla2 already has my info for the map. I live in Pasadena, CA currently so I know at least that that mvnla2, Bird Leader and now SweetP are within yelling distance. Probably more...
