LA Homes

Over the weekend and taking a break from work, Tito Joey brought us to Los Angeles City! He drove us around and showed us the city.  Everywhere in Southern California is quite far from each other that you really need a car to get around especially in the heat… though it is not humid.  We went through the different residential areas and wow, we were amazed at all the huge and beautiful homes!!  And they are one after the other.  They all have beautiful landscaping and some even have sculptures in their front lawn…and not to mention the beautiful and expensive cars parked  in these houses! WOW!!

I was able to take some photos from a moving car…I wish i could have taken more…

Mexican Fast Food in Southern California

By | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

We love love Mexican fast food 🙂 More of James…but I like it too. Being in Southern California- there is a wide variety to choose from, you will go crazy.  But just like anything else, you can only have enough…after awhile you cannot have too much of the same thing

Of course Taco Bell is James’ favorite

And Del Taco seems to be  another favorite

The Taco factory was not really our type but we were just curious so we tried it

There was a green burrito right beside our hotel, so it was convenient and James seemed to like it.   It’s nice also because it is together with a Carl’s Jr. so you have a choice of either  mexican or burgers

We came in to have an early dinner.  I was mostly tempted to have the Brie Fondue which is one of their specialties and the pulled pork quesadilla.  Both very very YUMMY!
