Los Angeles!

Over the summer I was dating a guy from Los Angeles that I met in Rochester in early June. Unfortunately, had to call it off a month later. Anyways, before we broke up I flew out to Los Angeles to visit him and check out the city! 

Los Angeles was very interesting experience for me! I have been to San Francisco and San Jose couples of years ago, this place is different from those cities. The best part of this trip is see what Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Malibu and Venice beach is like in real life! My ex lived right next to Beverly Hills, his house was not fancy as those ones in BH. Overall, my visit was nice along with beautiful weather the entire time!

West LA in the background! (Man I look hot!! LOL)

At the Getty Museum

This is one of my most favorite waterfall at the Getty

Fell in love with Getty's landscaping

Loved the Z sidewalk in the back of picture and this neat landscape!

On way to Malibu Beach!

The REAL Baywatch!!

Pretty birds on the beach next to us!

Can I please take you home with me!

On the way to Venice

I really enjoyed this place (Venice) because it was full with hippies and their culture! (am kinda hippie myself!)

In Beverly Hills, would see tree like this everytime when driving from/back to his house.

Gate community in BH, where most celebities residents.

Got the opportunity to visit the Walk of Fame in Hollywood!

Heetee!!!

 My visit to LA was short, was only there from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon we headed out to Las Vegas (more in next post!). Is Los Angeles for me?!?... NOT AT ALL! It was just nice to grab the opportunity to see what it's like there without only see it on tv. The beach was nice but prefer Caribbean beaches over California's! The scenery is absolutely pretty, there are just too many people and houses for me! I am still a Mountain and sorta of country gal!

I must Thank the Lord for me to have the chance to see the more of this part of the country and knowing little bit more what future has in store for me!

Boca Chica Republica Domincia

This was one of my best part of the trip is to visit a village east of Santo Domingo called Boca Chica and we stayed at the Be Live Hamaca Beach Hotel along with the team. It was my first time touch the Caribbean Sea, super SUPER super excited!! 

The locate of this hotel was really nice and beautiful beach front of our hotel. It absolutely felt like am on a paradise vacation! The only negative about this hotel is the rooms, would rate it 2 and half out of 5 due to air Condition and toilet not function properly. However, it didn't actually not bother me because I was on the beach most of the time from 9am to 4pm. As for for they had huge buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

On the beach it was lot of fun, they had free dancing classes, such as Zumba on sand and in water (did that one!), Hammock, beach bed with shed, kayak, and windsurfing. I did got plenty of Dominican Republic Sun on my beau skin!

Important part to be able to reflect on how much The Lord taught me on this mission trip. It was nice to share with out teammates on how things were at the camp and what we can do for next year! It was blessing to have a wonderful team to travel with!

Here are the pictures!

My first time in the Caribbean Sea along with the team!!

Our hotel room

The water is CLEAR as a crystal!!

The view where I am relaxing is awesome!

Gorgeous view, isn't it?!

One of the three pools at the hotel.

See there's no body on the beach esp us! That's why we grab those bed before being kicked off at 11am and pay $60 to use them!

Happy Gal on Earth!

Yuppers that's me!

Will see them often but not harmful (Crab)

Morag and I went kayaking!

The rest of the team on our last night with the FL and CT team. Four of us stay other night!

See you next year Connecticut Team! Miss you!

I will not forget how much fun we had at this hotel but we did miss the kids dearly! 

On my flight back to America with full of tears and joyful from having a marvelous experience in the Republica Dominica!

Looking froward to return to the Caribbean sea next June!
