Daddy and Pauline inna L.A. / Trip to Northern California

Hi There, as you now my Daddy and Sista Pauline visited me 10 days ... That's way I forgot my blog ! What a shame !!! Just kiddin'
So daddy and Pauline arrived after more than 20 Hours of traveling ... I picked them up at the airport with Tine :-) But baggages were not there ... As usual they didn't put baggages in the right plane, blablabla ... But anyway, the most important were that my sister and my dad were there ! That was so wired to see them there ... I'm hosting them in my new country ... And I loved that ! Showing them L.A. as if it was my city .... It make me realized that I'm seriously considering the idea of living there ...
Saturday we had a BBQ with Shen, Bahrath, Ben, Tracy, Marjam, Jo, Tine, Peter and Bridget, Sidney.



That was really nice, there were so many food ! I was happy, my first BBQ was awesome !!!! There were a lot of things to drink and guess what ... we drunk evrythin' !!!! 35 bottle of beers, 6 of wine ... Very nice night !!! Daddy & Pauline went bed earlier, they were tired ...
Sunday we went to the fashion district ... OMG that's so dirt cheap !!!! I bought new converse, tee shirts, sunglasses, ...




We went there with the old car of Christine that I can drive ... I love this car !!! I wanna go everywhere with her ... It's my boat !






Then Monday & tuesday they visited the city while I was working ... I was impressed how they went everywhere with public transport ! Then Wednesday morning we rent a car and we took the 5th road to S.F. ...
We arrived in S.F. around 4. The road was really beautiful and really different than what I've seen before. They were field, animals... The Northern california is more farming than the south ... the climate is way more humid and cold.
We went to downtown for shopping ... I bought my first Lewi's in America !!!! And I didn't know that Lewi's was a brand from S.F. I loved the shops in S.F. but it's more expensive and touristic than L.A. ... Then we met Tine who was in S.F. to for work. We had a drink together. That was nice to see her in S.F.
The next day we went again in downtown S.F. and we took the old tramway.











We went to chinatown and to the bay. We saw Alcatraz and see lions ! That we so cool ! This city is really gorgeous ! And it's way smaller than L.A., so you can walk form one to another point ...










Later in the afternoon we decided to go to the wine country, north to S.F. Of course we took the golden gate bridge ! That was really cool and froggy up there :-)





But like 1 miles after crossing the bridge, the sun came back and the weather was nice again ... This area is really beautiful, really green with a lot of fields, small roads and really good wine ! We stopped to the Nicholson Ranch. The guy lived one year in south of France close to Uzes !!! He spoke a little french so my dad exchange a little with him that was nice. They didn't charge us for the tasting wine because we were from South of France ^^ The wine was really good. We tasted some Pinot Noir, Chardonnay :) Really really good !
















Then the friday we leaved S.F. to go back to L.A. on the road 1. It's the road which is following the coast between those two cities. That was gorgeous and so wild ! I was really impressed ...































We went to Big Sur, a national park where there is a river, some big red trees ... We really enjoyed it !







Then we stopped to sleep in a motel in Pismo beach. It was really beautiful too.






The next day we leaved the coast and went more inside the country on the 101. We saw a beautiful lake.









This trip was really good ! My dad and my sister really enjoyed it ! When we came back in L.A. Kristine was there too :-) We went to some market again and again ...
Sunday we went to Zuma beach. It's a beach in Malibu. It was really beautiful and I went in the ocean with Pauline !!! That was cold but we did it !!! We also burned ! I was red as my dad !!! And I still am ...






And we also so baby Pelican !!!! Guinness Powa !!!!





I really enjoyed seeing Pauline and daddy in California ... I gonna miss them now ... But it's okay :-)
Melanie, my good friend from south of France is going to visit me this WE...
