Mom & I by the windy shore of Little Venice, Mykonos.

My mom and I cannot stop talking about Greece. Ever since I started cleaning out my iCloud I’ve had this intense desire to go back. Too bad this pandemic made everything more complicated! I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to go back and visit more islands. Until then, the nostalgia will be dealt with the editing of our trip’s pictures.

It was pretty neat to see the handprints and autographs of some of my favorite movie stars. And thus began the long walk down Hollywood Blvd.

As an avid donut lover, I of course looked up a specialty donut shop to visit while in L. A. It was a half-hour wait in line, but was totally worth it.

Santa Monica Beach — Los Angeles, California.

One of my favorite moments during this trip was walking along Santa Monica beach with my friend. After a long walk in search for a lighter, we almost peed our pants cracking up at the idea of weaponized “chancletas”. The weather was perfect and the palm trees stood tall on that windy afternoon.

First brunch in L. A. @ Eat This Cafe

I had some delicious Crab Cakes Benedict along with the holy grail of brunch: bottomless mimosas. With a table full of friends and good conversations, there was no better way to start the trip.
