Last weeks in SoCal...

Oye Oye,

Well well well... we are close to the end of our adventure in California, and what a journey it was!

I personally had no idea what to expect about the 'California lifestyle', and it certainly canno't  be resumed to the easy stereotypes we see in Hollywood movies, as it would be at the same time entirely true and yet too simple to really explain what California is about.

We met some amazing people, ate some crazy food, things like 'fa' (soup), 'shabu-shabu', New York style pizza, and drunk a hell lot of 'venti/tall non fat hot chocolate with no wipp cream'... and much more (Oh I was about to forget, Mexican food of course, chicken/asada/fish tacos etc...). We drove up and down the coast to amazing sceneries, parks and cities. And of course not to mention what the coast has to offer for surfing, from cold and grey Santa Cruz, to warm and hyppe La Jolla! 

I think 4 simple words really put it together: WE WILL BE BACK!! Be it as tourists, or who knowns, to settle there...

I have put together what I think are the most beautiful pictures we have made of this great 'escapade'!!

10 days to go before we hit Hawaii!

Chinatown at San Francisco

Lake Tahoe to Yosemite National Park

 

Hi everyone,

So after our 5 days in San Francisco, and thanks to Nick from Lost Campers and his awesome advice, we decided to add the Lake Tahoe to our itinerary. And this was such a great idea! Having grown up in an island, I did not get to experience the mountains in winter, and our time at Lake Tahoe was simply overwelming! I canno't remember having seen that much snow in my entire life, not to mention the impressive alpin lake standing in the middle! We spent two days exploring the area, walking in knee deep snow (how awesome!), enjoying the incredible silence of the moutains. It is probably one of the most beautiful place I've ever seen! We then made our way to Yosemite national park, and again, what an amazing place... these big rocks hiden in the valley. 

We are now making our way to Death Valley...

Marie.
