California Love
I have a confession:
I’m a total California snob.
I’ve lived here all my life, born and raised right outside of the City of Angels itself, yet I know my way around other cities, even countries, better than my neighborhood. Maybe it’s the the “grass is greener on the other side” thing, maybe I just don’t know how great my state is (based on everyone else’s opinions), so I’m putting an end to my snobbery. Well, at least I am trying.
My international travels have been put on a hold for a small period, and now I will be checking out what the Sunshine State is really about, starting with a trip to Northern California next week. I’ve been a few times, yet I didn’t really absorb all that area of my state has to offer, so I am looking forward to seeing things through a new set of eyes. I’m also really excited about a trip into Napa to relax in the vineyards get wasted off booze.
When I’m not on the road, I’m hitting all the festivals, food trucks, restaurant openings, and anything else I can manage to do.
Don’t fail me, California… Let’s do this….
Everywhere I’ve been outside of California, I usually think of how that somewhere looks like someplace I know in California. I suppose that makes me a snob, too. I live in Hollister, California by the way. I do a blog called Take 25 to Hollister, but that’s not what I’ve linked up with the A to Z challenge. Happy Roaming. 🙂
The View from the Top of the Ladder
Great idea, I recently met a couple from Canada who were here to visit some of our national parks. They made the comment that our national park system was the best ever. HMMMM made me think, we really do forget what a beautiful country “we” live in. So enjoy discovering California.
