Visiting San Francisco…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I know I always say that this place and that place are my favorite places to visit…but San Francisco is truly one of my favorite spots in the world. If you ever visit California or already live in our Golden State, you must visit San Francisco.

Haight and Ashbury are a blast from the past. Walking down the streets is as if you are still living during the 1960’s. Jim Morrison, from the Doors and Jimi Hendrix appear to still be living, as you look up and into their faces on the side of buildings.

The Wharf and Pier 39 have all the shopping you could ever imagine, while you’re waiting for your boat trip across the bay to the legendary Alcatraz island. Alcatraz is a must see.

Union Square is for the more savvy shopping goer. It’s beautifully lined streets, looking up to the high rises; such as, Juicy Contour, Nordstrom and Ghirardelli Chocolates.

And we can’t forget the Financial District. This is where success is created.

Make sure you pack your shorts, sweaters, and jackets…you never know what the weather will be like in San Francisco…it’s as unpredictable as your decisions on where you should go to next in the great city of San Francisco.

LONE PINE LAKE

LONE PINE LAKE

photo (8)

Do you like to hike? Lone Pine Lake is at the Whitney Portals, in the mountains of Lone Pine, California. The hike is spectacular. Beware, the hike is definitely not for the weak at heart. Bring plenty of water and healthy snacks, such as jerky and dried nuts and fruits, for this 2.5 hour hike up can wear down your energy level. Not only is the altitude a challenge, but the steep terrain keeps you on your toes.

Once you are almost at the lake, you will be amazed that there is actually a lake up there in the mountains, surrounded by trees. Once you walk out of the clearing, you will see the beautiful oasis, called Lone Pine Lake (the first lake).

If you want to go up even further, you will find the second lake. And at the top of the mountain is Mt. Whitney. However, the hike to the top is for advanced hikers with the proper equipment.

Have fun!

Road Trips…

I need a road trip…

Shell Beach is a small, quaint beach town a few miles north of Pismo Beach. The people are friendly and life is slow and savored. This beach city also has wonderful restaurants. One of my favorites is called, Mo’s Authentic Hickory Barbecue on the pier in Pismo Beach. They make the most delicious and best homemade potato chips and BBQ pork sandwiches.

I always thought I was a city girl, but I’m really a water girl. Take me to any body of water and I am happy. I guess that is why I am a Pisces.

Venice Beach, California

Venice Beach, CA…

Venice Beach Canals 2.2015

This is one of my favorite places in California. Anyone visiting California must go and visit the canals in Venice Beach. A more touristy spot is along the boardwalk…this is where you will see street performers and such. Plus there are so many quaint stores to shop in. You can find anything from crystals, clothes, to homemade wind-chimes, made out of beach wood drift.

But the canals are a special treat. They are nestled in between homes, off Ocean Ave. A picture doesn’t do it justice….it’s a magical place one must see on their own.

Photograph #2 – The Vacant Chair

Photograph #2 – The Vacant Chair:

The vacant chair was a plain dirty chair, placed out in the middle of nowhere. It was next to an old abandoned washing machine. The thing that struck me odd and made this photo so spectacular was that a clean, white blanket had been thrown across the chair. The chair was grungy and tattered; however, the nice clean, white blanket looked brand new. It made me wonder who had inhabited the living spaces of this chair and why?

Beautiful Palm Springs. Who wouldn’t love to relax under the umbrella, while lying out by the pool? Or better yet, how about staying at an old hotel built in the early 1900’s. Too bad the city had it torn down.

A new gallery is opening up soon in the Riverside area, where you can see photos like this one below and many others. For more information, contact me at msmandi4u@gmail.com

Take a look:
