I'm sure nobody has noticed, but I've been busier than usual these past few weeks and missing interacting with all of you. What have I missed?! There were out-of-town visitors galore during this time, including fellow PuristS, and a houseguest for two wee...
Welcome back, your Evilness! I've missed you! Looking forward to hearing about your vacation too! Now I better get back to posting about mine. I have TONS of pictures! It's going to take all night to post! Cheers, Daos
One of the highlights from this year's vacation was meeting AndrewD and AlexSunrise in person. They traveled from their respective homelands to visit the LA-based PuristS this summer. We had so much fun together! I will not soon forget all the good times,...
Nice to see more pictures. That was my first breakfast in Oliverio at The Avalon and I went on to try their hangover cure the next day. That juice was even more bizarre, but you know, I think it worked! Andrew Watches over breakfast...
The LA PuristS held a BBQ, kindly hosted by mkvc and his lovely wife. Art and Andrew made a great post about this event previously, but I just thought I'd re-post some of my own pictures here. It was a wonderful day, and fantastic to meet up with some fol...
It was sad to say goodbye to Alex and Andrew after such a fun visit, but I didn't sit still for long. My best friend from college, Jenn, came to visit me for two weeks to check out the new house I bought. We pretty much ate our way through the vacation, b...
Food, Friends and Watches... It seems that we had the same holidays! Thanks for having taken the time to post these Dream pics, sister. I definitely have to pay you a visit! Best, Nicolas
... look wonderfully relaxing. It's now on my itinerary for the next visit! Pleased you had such a great time. Coming back to reality (and catching up) is never fun, but lots of memories to tide you over till next time. Thanks for sharing all this. Andrew
We didn't even explore all the museum exhibits while there because we loitered in the gardens for too long. If you come and visit it'll be a good excuse for me to go again. Cheers, Daos
Great pics! You vacation must have been great! Love the bonsai’s and zen garden! Well, the scones didn’t look to bad either… Thanks for sharing, I needed that! Only work this summer… Best Blomman
All work, and no play makes Blomman a dull boy! LOL! Thanks for looking at my pictures. I actually have more to post, which I will put in a separate thread. It is always nice to hear from you! Cheers, Daos
Hi Patrick, I have more adventures (with pictures galore) to post shortly. The Huntington is always a good time! I don't know why I don't visit more often. It's 30 minutes away from my house. Thanks for taking a look! Cheers, Daos
I still have tons of photos to post! I'm going to start a new thread for the rest of my summer adventures soon. There will be lots of food pictures and some outdoor escapades. Hoping to see you soon! Cheers, Daos
Daos, I realized that you hadn’t been posting for a while and thought you were very busy and I was right. Sounds like you’ve had a marvelous summer and wasn’t it great meeting Andrew! Unfortunately, here in New Orleans it was extremely hot, so we didn’t d...
Thanks for the nice note. Always good to hear from you. Yes, Andrew was even lovelier in person than he appears in posts. I always enjoy meeting fellow PuristS in person, so I'll look forward to meeting you one day. Cheers, Daos
