My life in pictures & incoherent musings
Since returning from our short camping trip, my thoughts when I first slip into bed are often of the Joshua Tree sky and its endless stars. One of my favorite memories will forever be lying on rocks with twinkle lights, sipping bourbon and nibbling on nutella s'mores.
On our way home from our (freezing) Joshua Tree trip for New Year's, a couple of my friends and I decided that we must come back for the Perseid Meteor Shower (thank you Steven for promptly booking us an amazing group campsite). Despite the 100 degree heat, I had such an amazing weekend - there's just something about Joshua Tree that you can't help but fall in love with.
A night sky so peppered with stars that it's hard to catch every meteor shooting across it, and a clear view of the milky way left me in awe.
One of the disappointing things about Los Angeles beaches is how few of them have bonfire rings: enter Dockweiler Beach, where you can build a bonfire in the sand when the rings have all been taken and no one seems to care about breaking any rules (including booze at the beach and illegal fireworks). Also, you can get some great views of airplanes... A few snaps from Russ's and Alex's birthday beach bash:
At this point in the day, we were all sweating and fairly hot, yet everyone appeased me by visiting the Walt Disney Music Hall. It was my first time up close with the building, discovering the lovely gardens and forcing everyone to pose for my lens. The views were great!
After our trip to The Broad, our growling bellies led us on a walk to Grand Central Market. It was my first time visiting, and I completely loved it! So many options, bustling with people and dozens of smells. I definitely want to come back and try food from every stand!
Finally after months of trying, I was able to secure some tickets to The Broad. The architecture of the building is simply gorgeous and I couldn't help but marvel at the absolutely perfect light inside. I had such a wonderful day with Cat, a couple of her siblings, and our friend Asher. We spent the day downtown, with lunch at the Grand Central Market and a walk around the Walt Disney Music Hall. I fall more and more in love with Downtown every time I visit.
