The Road trip was fantastic! We started driving on Friday night, we drove for 3 hours and got tired already, so we decided to stop in Orlando. We met up with friends and had an awesome time!! We only slept for 3 hours before starting driving to New Orleans, but it was totally worth it!! =)
We left Orlando on Saturday morning, drove by Alabama, Mississippi, and arrived in Louisiana around 6pm. We had enough time to go out and get to know the city. New Orleans is... different I would say. I felt a heavy energy in the air, there were a lot of adult entertainment bars, and the city was a little dirty. It's definitely not my favorite place to be.
The next day we drove to Texas. What a beautiful state! We stopped in Houston, a gorgeous town, and slept in Santo Antonio. Santo Antonio is amazing. I think it's my favorite city from the whole trip. There's a place called River walk, that has bars and restaurant around this beautiful river. It's incredible!
The next day we drove to El Paso and had lunch there. The city is very poor, it's hard to believe you are in the United States. It's so close to Mexico that at one point my phone got the signal of a Mexican phone company. Except for El Paso the whole driving through Texas was beautiful. The speed limit is 80, I got a little carried away and got pulled over by a cop, now I have to call the judge... go figure...
We drove through New Mexico, where we got stopped by the boarder patrol and had to show our passports and visas. The drive to Arizona was amazing. The sky looked fabulous with its pink color. The weather was hot and dry, very dry. Phoenix is a very pretty city, we spent the night there.
The next day before we continued our drive to Los Angeles, we saw a nice church and decided to stop... only to find out they were having a viewing in there. There were mariachis, etc. Pretty interesting!
It was a nice drive through the desert and mountains. I did the driving, that way I wouldn't get car sick from all the curves.
We finally got in L.A. the feeling is hard to explain. This is my new home now!! We drove around for a bit before stoping for lunch at Third Promenade Street in Santa Monica. I took the girls to the airport and got to my new temporary home. Christian and Samia were waiting for me, they are beyond nice. I am extremely lucky to know so many great people. Samia's apartment is beautiful!! She had everything ready for me, I didn't have to worry about anything.
Today was my first day here, I accomplished a lot. Got an oil change, went to the mall, where the were recording the Mario Lopez show "Extra". I got invited to be part of audience, later on he interviewed Felicity Huffman, it was pretty cool. I went grocery shopping and am finally settling down.
I'm very happy to be here. I'm just anxious to have my life in order soon.
Patience is a virtue!! =)
