Hello stranger! Didn't I say switching careers will allow me to make time for things I enjoy such as blogging? Well, there is no excuse. I have been busy working, working some more and a bit of travel. My summer was something to remember.
Here are my top events in no particular order.
1) I rode in a hot air ballon. Will I ever do it again? Of course! The spectacular views are something not to be missed. Also wine tasting afterwards and massages are not bad either. It was a unique day.
2) My only Aussie friend visits me. It was good to reminisce about Madrid, past travels and show him L.A. from a true Angeleno like moi.
3) A picnic at the Grove and to watch Twilight under the stars.
4) To see some fireworks at the H.bowl and see 2 of my favorite bands (Death Cab for Cutie and The Killers). Also, my first experience in sitting in the box seats; fine wine dining was just lovely as well.
5) A bike ride from San Mo to Venice to see these beautiful canals, priceless.
6) Sammies! Courtesy from Cool Haus.
7) Meiko. A free outdoor concert. Sweet!!
8) Vegas in the summer.
9) My first, LA County fair.
10) Santa Barbara for some wine tasting in Los Olivos, bike riding in downtown SB and Solvang for some Dutch flavor.
Summer of 09' was summery indeed.
