    Aesthetics at Huntington Library


    Snagging a free day ticket to the Huntington Library was the highlight of my most recent visit to the grounds. It’s summer. It’s hot and it’s even hotter the more inland you go. 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…

    Walking in Nature

    It’s hot. So hot that it’s probably safe to say that the whole world is experiencing and complaining about this horrid summer heat. If anything, I’m so glad that the summer weather didn’t truly kick in until July arrived. That cool spell in June was a gift from above. But it was that cooler weather in June where we could easily go on walks without a care to the time of the day it was. Now, it just seems way too hot to go for a walk, regardless of the time of the day.

    When Traveling, Stay Away from Freebies

    Boys Over Flowers planner & iPhone

    I like freebies but sometimes, I just have to turn my nose on a freebie. In the traveling world, there’s almost no such thing as free but once in a while you will actually come across free. And it is at that point in life that you decide if free is worth it because not every freebie is worth your time, energy, safety and sanity, even.
