[day 9] Stuffed Mussels & a Fanta, Istanbul, Turkey
Stuffed mussels are called “midye dolma” in Turkish. We first found these as we walked along Istiklal Caddesi, the lively pedestrian street filled with shops and restaurants. Just off of the street was a stretch of small restaurants and outdoor street food. We walked by a store and were offered these to try – hesitant […]
Quick Photo Diary Update

High Above the Clouds
Before embarking on my next journey above the clouds, I wanted to share this photo I took en route to Costa Rica. To look up to the sky and see the clouds is one thing, but to be amongst the clouds and eventually high above them is an even greater feeling. From the window seat, […]
Leis and Diploma, James Logan High School Graduation, Union City, California, USA

Flower, Laguna Beach, California, USA
Right outside of a gazebo overlooking the coast, there was an area with all types of flowers and plants. This flower caught my eye because of its vibrant colors and lush greenery around it. 🙂 I’m heading to Costa Rica tomorrow, so hopefully if I have internet, I’ll post a photo a day…from Costa Rica!

California Science Center, Los Angeles, California, USA
Located in Exposition Park, the California Science Center is one of the West Coast’s largest hand-on science museums. This photo was taken outside the entrance to the museum. It features intertwining metal bars with spheres, definitely fitting for a science museum. Inside, we saw their special exhibit, the Body Worlds exhibit. Educational and fun visit!

Silhouettes and Sunset Painting, Los Angeles, California
I’m doing something a little different today. While this is a photo, it is also a photo of a painting I did a few months ago. I used acrylic paints on the canvas and my imagination ended up with this scene of the sun setting, creating a medley of orange, pink and purple colors. I […]
