From last spring

The Barrel Room
Although there are many rooms and hallways filled with barrels, this is the barrel room deep underground beneath the breathtaking Castello di Amorosa castle near Calistoga, CA. Just one of the many wonders to explore in this truly magical place. If you're ever in the Napa Valley, you must stop by for a visit!

”Hey, weren’t there like 20 more of our pals here just a moment ago?!!“
They thought it was paradise. They flocked to it in … um, well … flocks. Not a human being in sight. It was all theirs!!

Until the day the typically unobservant #seagullbutts realized why the humans called this place ”Grand Caiman Island”. (View large, if the reason for that isn't quit apparent in the thumbnail here …. ;o))

A great day at the ballpark, except Oakland got stomped by the White Sox

Yes, we were in the nosebleed section, but actually had a pretty good view from behind the plate…and the price was right…only $14!
