bury me in this dress

I might be internet-less for a couple a’ days since I’ll be moving on to LA later and my host family might not have net access. If that’s the case, I hope I can convince mom to buy us a laptop so I can go to downtown Burbank for the free wifi. Anyway, I’ll try to make this entry worth out while.

Almost didn’t go out today because mom wanted to spend the whole day trying to fix our belongings in prep for our flight tomorrow. Rose and I were able to convince her to have a day out and go to 17 Mile which is 45 minutes from this place. It was our first time there and we loved it. It’s like a rich white man’s playground with its numerous golf course, hills, and the seaside. The houses were HUGE but I found it too far from civilization. I guess I’m used to the city noise and all the city lights. I wouldn’t want to be stuck there once it gets dark. After Monterey, we headed to Cannery Row which is a really charming town. It has little shops and restaurants right beside the ocean and I think it’s really a tourist spot. It’s a predominantly white area and there were a lot of cute guys. We had dinner at Bubba Gump but that’s nothing new since we have that in the Philippines (sans the cute white guys). I was looking forward to having dessert at Ghirardeli but when we went there, the place was already closed. Super bummer. I guess most of the stores there close at 9 pm so unfortunately for us, we weren’t able to explore the place much. Definitely worth checking out again the next time I’m here.
