What is love?
Valentine’s Day is here and it’s made me question what love is. When it comes to the world of romance, what exactly is love? Are you able to answer this question?

If you didn’t know already, San Marino is next to Alhambra and the likes which means it’s basically in the San Gabriel Valley area. Valley… In other words, it’s hotter here. Fortunately, plentiful shade and the occasional breeze made this summer outing tolerable. I must admit that I was sweating like a pig, though…
