sunny days






where i live we have many sunny days
sometimes even if the day starts gloomy, by noon the sun will come out to greet us
i feel very lucky to live in a place like this where the weather is always allowing us to go about our day in good spirits. it does get hot, but i am very used to hot weather and i actually prefer it over cold
sun on my skin always make me feel like everything is possible and so a few days ago when we were relishing a sunny saturday morning, ry and i decided to take a neighborhood hike
in our walks we take advantage of our time and destination and always include errands, this time i had to drop off a dvd at edendale library and after that we wanted to go try a new cream ale at frog town brewery because of the initial stop being in echo park we decided to explore the stairs in that neighborhood and we followed a "trail" from this book

we used to live in echo park but moved to silver lake about 5 years ago. i used to walk around all over the neighborhood and went several times to elysian park but i had never been in the streets we discovered in our walk!
that made me think you can always discover something new about the neighborhoods you think you know, that is why urban hikes are so awesome, there is so much to see!
we had a great walk, the weather was great... a bit too hot for ry's taste but after all that walking we were rewarded with a super cold and delicious beer. it was totally worth it!

i know the name of this blog makes reference to walking in los angeles it even has la la on its name, but sometimes we walk in other places, so i thought i'd share our experience of walking in the deep south. when i was 17 years old i moved to gautier ms and lived there for a year as an exchange student. i was a senior in a small catholic school in pascagoula and it was that year when i met my now husband. i've been back many times ever since i was 17 but now that i am married to somebody from there i go every 2 years (sometimes more, every 2 years is not enough!) for the holidays. i always tell the story of how when i used to talk to my mom over the phone she would say "well you can just walk there" and i would laugh and then explain to her that there were no sidewalks. i think the cities there still have a long way to go (in terms of urban planning) you definitely cannot survive without a car there, transit is almost non existent and until this day not every neigh

5 tips for riding public transit in los angeles

every now and then i'll get the skeptical person who completely believes living car free and riding public transit in los angeles is just simply impossible i understand why they think that way, but that is my everyday life and i had never not gone somewhere because i couldn't find a way and even though in the beginning it was very hard, after 5 years of riding, my perception has changed. moving around the city couldn't be easier for me if i owned a car just in the month of June 2018 31,541,377 riders used los angeles public transit (bus and rail) you can see more stats here so there is no denying people are using transit, even though the city as whole or more like the identity of this city does not want to acknowledge, a lot of people ride public transit now, i have to admit there is a lot of privilege in my way of living and the life style i chose. i ride transit because i can afford to choose where to live, where to work and what to do for fun. many people who
