It's been too long since I've ridden a carousel. <br />My brother generally rode in the chariot too... because he was too little to stay on his own horse. Quite a different reason from your brother's. ;)<br /><br />NYC is ca-razy! I've been once. I saw my favourite musical (<i>West Side Story</i>) on Broadway, so I figure I have no reason to ever go back. ;)Meleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848998866008289402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-74551572711234876832012-06-17T17:43:08.650-07:002012-06-17T17:43:08.650-07:00Maine *_* I want to go there some day. But you alr...Maine *_* I want to go there some day. But you already know that, haha. <br /><br />I'm too jaded by having been there a few times, but I think there's a lot to see and do - and exploring any new place is an adventure :) I think you'd have fun. <br /><br />Yes! Frizzy hair sisters! *high fives* I can imagine how it must have been in Texas. Gads. It gets so hot in the south! <br /><br />Hahaha. There were also knock-off Mickeys, but I wan't able to get a photo of them. They're kind of scarier, in a way. You can't trust 'em :O<br /><br />Yes! It was a fun ride - being able to see the city from a distance was so much fun :D <br /><br />Yay! Glad to be back. I just won't step outside my house without sunscreen and a gallon of ice-cold water, haha.CloudyKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601048610753963689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-55326064124225636862012-06-17T17:39:10.979-07:002012-06-17T17:39:10.979-07:00Yes, it sure is. Even if my memories are rusty, yo...Yes, it sure is. Even if my memories are rusty, you can sort of feel like a place is home. That's what happened for the most part, haha. <br /><br />You don't get hurricanes in California? What natural disasters do you face? :O It's the same as in FL - hurricanes and crazy lightning storms. But hurricanes don't scare me. I've been through too many. It's like a glorified rainstorm (says hardcore hurricane Kim, bwahaha). <br /><br />I like dry heat, for sure, because at least it's easier to walk around outside that way. Humid is like puddy, slowing you down... blah. <br /><br />Seems like only the cool kids rode carousels when they were little, haha. <br /><br />Nice! That sounds like some good fish! :DCloudyKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601048610753963689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-26471763793785646332012-06-16T12:48:23.522-07:002012-06-16T12:48:23.522-07:00Ooooh, Kim, this sounds lovely. I grew up (well, f...Ooooh, Kim, this sounds lovely. I grew up (well, for five years, but hey, during that time I learned important life skills, like how to walk, talk, and lose teeth) in Maine, but surprisingly, I've never made it to New York. I've always wanted to, though, and your descriptions of carousels and food have definitely tempted me. <br /><br />But oh boy, do I understand your non-frizzy hair happiness. Texas was a torturous place to be, especially during middle school and early high school, when my hair insisted on frizzing all over the place in the hot, hot, HOT sun. Maine is a happy-hair state.<br /><br />That knock-off Hello Kitty will now be stalking through my dreams. Gah.<br /><br />The boat ride sounds gorgeous! I love boats. And riding on them. Sounds like it was all around a fun time. :) And now, we're glad to have you back.Savannah Fingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091639259222432069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738525889448975913.post-12581203369080301752012-06-15T13:37:19.560-07:002012-06-15T13:37:19.560-07:00An unexpected vacation.

The sense of nostalgia I get around some streets in LA is almost surreal. <br /><br />I've been to NY once, and it was last summer right after the bar exam. There was a hurricane. And I remember thinking .... wow. So *this* is why my grandparents moved to California.<br /><br />I'm a desert dog. I'm fairly pale too but I've gotten used to putting on sun screen and wearing hats (have I told you about my zany hat collection?) Anyway, I love the dry desert heat. Not a fan of humidity so much. <br /><br />I liked that carousal you pictured. When I was a little kid I used to ride this carousal in Griffith Park, and I liked to pretend that the animals came to life at night and talked to each other about the people that rode on them. I was a weird kid. <br /><br />And lastly, as a matter of fact, I'm grilling salmon fillets with mango and papaya salsa. Brown rice without jasmine--but iced jasmine green tea =Ddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377361224621962559noreply@blogger.com
