TimeOut

...and to visit friends who work there.  I have several close friends in various departments at the studio, so I've enjoyed lunches and movies there.  They've got a great screening room!    It's a beautiful, old historic lot.

Cheers,

LOL!  Damian, you are too funny.  My one friend is already married, and the other dating someone, but as you might suspect they are both lovely people (inside and out). 

Cheers,

Aloha, Bob

Aloha masterpiece!

So happy that you get to live in paradise!  Thanks for the pics as they are reminders of all the great times when I visit Oahu.  My screen saver is always a picture of my favorite beach around the Kailua/Lanakai area.  Probably headed to Maui this year but hopefully I can make it to Honolulu again and hang out with you like last time.

Mahalo!

Since little over nine years I can call the city of Rotterdam my home.
According to Wiki: Rotterdam (pronounced /ˈrɒtərdæm/ ; the Latinised adjectival form for the city is Roterodamus) is a city and municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland , situated in the west of the Netherlands .

Home of Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (sometimes known as Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam) (October 28,^[1] 1466/1469, Rotterdam – July 12, 1536, Basel ) was a Dutch Renaissance humanist and a Catholic priest and theologian . His scholarly name Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus comprises the following three elements: the Latin noun desiderium ("longing" or "desire"; the name being a genuine Late Latin name); the Greek adjective ἐράσμιος (erásmios ) meaning "desired", and, in the form Erasmus, also the name of a St. Erasmus of Formiae ; and the Latinized adjectival form for the city of Rotterdam (Roterodamus="of Rotterdam").

Now you may think, why does he mentiond this old man? Well, every day to work by car or bike I cross the Erasmusbridge. Isn't it beautiful?!

Cheers!

Hello Maverik!

Great pic of the Erasmus Bridge and thanks for sharing the 411 on your current hometown.  Since you mentioned that you have lived in Rotterdam for the past 9 years, where was the city you grew up?

-MW

The town I grew up isn't all that special. In the dead center of the area Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam and Utrecht we have the city of Alphen aan den Rijn.

There is the relatively new city hall.

And the iconinc draw bridge. Actually there are three exactly identical in a row, spread over some kilometers among this canal.

And one more from beautful Rotterdam. The cubic houses (kubuswoningen).

...Arlington, Massachusetts, one of the towns, along with Lexington and Concord, where the American Revolution began in 1775.

Some of the heaviest fighting that followed "The Shot Heard 'Round The World" took place in Arlington.

As you can see from this historical marker in the center of town, American patriots were tough in those days.

Just about the only part missing here is the six more children he fathered after recovering from his wounds.

Hello Tom,

Thanks for sharing info about your hometown of Arlington!

I have to admit that having been moved around so many times as a kid, I do not have a home but actually love not to know where I will end up soon... I am a cultural patchwork so marginal that I know too much the eyebrows raising at the passport control... I am so suspicious that it is obvious now one could suspect me of being ....a spy

... roads like these!

In Bolivia, I believe ...

My colleagues do not understand why I have to hit the road when the weather is the worst ... but it is still quite safe compared to what I experienced as a kid in Africa or South America..

 

they kinda sooth my eyes

we should all try to keep them coming

mine is similar to Andrew's

melbourne, the most livable city in the world to some people

yes melbourne is nice but i have a lifetime to find out if its really the most livable one
