Thinking of birthdays makes me think of bucket lists. Mine is growing and changing. What is on yours?

I want to spend a summer in Ireland.

the daytona 500 on my b-day. it lands on my birthday every four years. hopen i can do it comming this FEB ! WOOO HOOO.

Oh very cool!! I hope you get to go!!

I had the time of my life bicycling around Amsterdam. I'd like to do that again, but I've heard of a bicycle run starting in Amsterdam (going into Germany) through Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and ending up in Munich for Oktoberfest.

Sounds ambitious! Is it a race or a tour?

Lol, I bet you'd cycle real fast just to get to the wine, ein zwei drei saufen!!

Amsterdam is cool, the canals, buildings etc. Risky to cycle there --> while you're looking at the ladies in the windows, you may get run over by a tram. (I hate trams, haha)

My bucketlist, I'd really really really want
- roto toms for my drum kit, a cowbell, decent cymbals and a splash. But roto toms, would make me soooo very happy!! Finally play INXS "Original Sin" again. I play it over and over till my neighbour goes mental, haha

- Wisdom of the Hidden Realms oracle cards

- A visit to my fav crystal shop, and of course the money to buy some, lol. Crystals, sigh ..

- always have a number of books I really would love to have

H2U...It's DEFINITELY a tour....70km max per day. Ambitious but would take some time. Hope I can do it.

Crystal....wasn't much into the red light (although enjoyed the museum of sex). Loved Vondel Park, and DID stop in at a "coffee shop" or 2 (because I could).....even though stoner days are long past.

The thing I realized overseas is that Americans are COMPLETELY unaware of their surroundings. Once I got "that"...I feel I bicycled relatively safely, and enjoyed myself so much!

Here is one you surely will enjoy:

Naked bike riding, you will feel so free :-)

Hahaha....Portland as I remember always has SOME element of "cold"....not sure I have the masculine fortitude LMAO!...and the bicycle seats....

EEEEEEEW!

Doesn't have to do with getting in a different mode as a tourist?
Usually you feel different and perceive things differently when you're abroad.
But that tour should be spectacular! I haven't seen much of Germany, but what I've seen, is beautiful.

That sounds fantastic Beach! Go for it!!

(There was a naked bike ride event not long ago in Vancouver and I couldn't get past the bike seat thing either...shudder )

I checked it out and the Wisdom of the Hidden Realms Oracle cards are beautiful Crystal. Hope they come to you soon.

Chatterbox Falls BC is on my list. Situated in Princess Louisa Inlet, it is breathtaking.

I wanna wrestle an alligator.....

I wanna watch!

I'll save you a seat in the front row!

I will definitely bring popcorn...and bandages!

It might be a bit of a letdown.
Hard to say.
The one I tangled with might have just been having an 'off' day.
Or he was just a wussy.

Are you talking about your love life Pancho?
