Hola! We arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica today around noon. After leaving after midnight and having a stopover in Atlanta, it was a relief to finally arrive! Despite weather reports that there was expected to be scattered thunderstorms, our first day was mostly rain free except for a few drops here and there. Its […]
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!

Driving through the winding, dark roads of Ecolo State Park to an opening, especially when darkness was quickly approaching and the park was close to closing was an adrenaline rush.

The streets of Pasadena are lined with multimillion dollar houses, some cars you only read about on the pages of magazines, and one of its most defining characteristics: lush green trees. These are called street shade trees because of the shadows they cast. This deserted street is the epitome of the Pasadena atmosphere and what […]
Right off the windy, scenic roads of the Pacific Coast Highway is the Plaskett Creek Campground, located just across the road from the Sand Dollar Beach in the Big Sur area. Derived from “el sur grande” in Spanish, with a rough translation to “the big south”, this area was named because of an expedition led […]
Strolling along the streets of Venice and along the many waterfronts, vendors and stores were filled with elaborate masks in all kinds of colors, designs and personas. A Venetian mask can be used for a multitude of purposes; to disguise class or identity, whether it is to be able to act without social confinements, act […]
