After a long, relaxing weekend in Southern California (with my favorite SoCal resident) I am back in the Bay Area (Not the B.A., right, E?). I had a great time checking out parts of LA, that I've never seen before... I rode the Metro (surprisingly clean... perhaps my standards are low due to the El and Bart), had some muy delicioso taquitos on Olvera Street (and bought Anneli a pretty awesome pink guitar), and then checked out the Our Lady of Angels cathedral and gift shop. I love that going to these places sometimes allows me to reconnect with my faith, which is tied so directly to some of my familial memories, that to me I feel connected with the little girl in church all those years ago. I picked up a goodie for my grandmother. But she won't get this little present until I see her in July :)
All in all, it was fun. It's a lot of driving in a weekend, but I am always so excited to see old friends and just relax. Which we did. Walked around downtown LA, saw a movie being filmed, and all of the prop cars (which was pretty cool), and just had a chance to chat and reconnect without all the craziness. Now, if I can keep this relaxation up before Europe. That will be the ultimate test.
