Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Libary in San Marino is quite big. Yes, it’s not small like the one at CSULB and definitely far from tiny like the one at Descanso. It wasn’t my first time visiting the Huntington Libary but it’d been some time since I last visited and I must say that time around, I recall I had the opportunity to explore and appreciate Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden. -
What I Didn’t Buy in Okinawa
What comes to mind when Okinawa is brought up? Is it beaches? Hot weather? Island life? Or shisas? I bet it’s all of the above with an emphasis on the shisas. I say this because you can not be in Okinawa without encountering shisas. What are shisas? They’re basically cute “lion dog” statues that come in a variety of sizes. Some are huge; others are tiny. And the tiny ones make great gifts for yourself and others. So, did yours truly buy one?

Descanso Gardens
I had plans to go to Descanso Gardens. I just hadn’t planned on going the day I decided to go. I had on the wrong outfit. (How very LA of me to say such a thing! Lol) Honestly, I could care less how I looked, but my outfit’s material was soaking up every ounce of that sun’s warmth! It was unbearably hot for me. Fortunately, with Descanso Gardens being in La Canana Flintridge, by the mountains, it was a lot cooler, making my outfit appropriate overall.
