Today Heath and I will meet up with my Aunt and her family.  First a few pics of his plants and animals, then a stop by Monrovia where I used to work.

We flew from Düsseldorf to Amsterdam with a cityhopper (bus with wings), from there we took a “real” plane to Los Angeles, picked up our rented car and drove to our hotel the Hollywood Downtowner. A nice hotel right at Hollywood Boulevard about a 15 -20 minute walk from Kodak Theatre. So it´s…

My mom wanted to take my niece and nephew to Santa Monica. She invited me to go with them, so I went. Well, on our way there, I asked her if we could go to Venice Beach instead, because I'd already been to Santa Monica, but not Venice. She said that was fine. So we were driving down PCH l…

My roommate and I somewhat randomly decided to buy cheap tickets to LA since we had never been to Cali before.  We ended up having a really amazing trip. Day 1:  We spent the afternoon on the beach in Santa Monica.  It was only low 60s, but, being from Ohio, we were the only ones ou…

YES we made it to the rental station of Dollar Rent a Car with our 'broken' car. The battery went dead on us 4 times so we got a new car. this time we picked the Jeep Liberty wich is a nice car. Then we drove to carrol street in LA, were the house is from the tv show sharmed. The series is playing …

We got back on the road and set off for LA.  Emotion was running a little bit high now as we knew this was the last stop and a flight home was creeping up fast.  We absolutely knacked after all the driving over the last few days and so we decided on having a day on the beach.  Wher…

City Centers, morning markets, night bazaars, Wats, delicious Thai food, wonderful people, new friends, the North and South, waterfalls and crystal beaches.

Various pictures I have taken throughout my travels around this gorgeous country

The train hugged the beach on the way up and with the sun beating down me and will could not wait to get to LA and hit the beach. We got off the train and the heavans opened. We hopped on what we thought was a 30 min bus to the hostel.  Two hours later through the whole of LA and through rough…

My annual pilgrimage back to where I grew up...

So out of nowhere, my dad goes, "Okay we're leaving for Hawaii in a couple of days. Wanna come?" I was like heck yes! A "No duh" was actually going through my head. Both my parents are so spontaneous sometimes it kills me. Anyway, come Monday, and I am still not packed. Me and my sister realized th…

I made two friends on the plane from Miami to Los Angeles. One was Ilsa, a lady that lived not too far from Ventura, and the other was from San Fransisco. I can't remember his name, but he liked electronic music, and shared his Ipod with me. He had been to Equador, and he talked to me a bit about t…
