snacks on a plane

                                                                                 On my final evening in California Ruby made sure I hadn't gone without a visit to Trader Joe's (i.e. Trader Hoe's)!                                                                                                                                                                                                            We picked up fresh strawberries and things for a delicious scone filled breakfast that Mika (Ruby's soeur) was making, while I also took a few treats to snack on during my flight.                                                                                                                                                                           Although I'm one [of the few] who actually enjoys airplane food, some of the best (and maybe dangerous*) advice I've received has been to always take some of your own food on planes.                                                                                        Coincidently, I'm pretty sure the advice came from the Ruby herself!

After all the goodbyes and thanks I was back in LAX waiting to board. I have such love for airports, I think I might just stay there forever someday.   

A meeting point between one point and the next; filled with memories, and tear of joy or sadness.

xx Thank you again to all the LA people
who made this possible!

LA was the perfect start to my list of upcoming trips & I will be back very soon!

Lilac Mountains

we spent an afternoon hiking and blabbing about luxuries. Prior to that filled out bellies with [un]necessary junk.

Dreamt of stealing all the perfect flowers from the gardens of the rich.

far too far...

Sorry, I was out of town but here are some more shots from LA 

(making me want to hop on the next flight back)

mornings were beautifully cold

Early stories from ancient times

West coast dreams

               Since all of my closest friends are living out of the current state I'm in,
this halloween I decided to go chasing after Hanna, naturally.

We made the best out of the short time we had together
(as you might have seen on the quick "Purple Skies" vid)
but I'll be sharing more in detail here.
