San Francisco Escapade

The theme for Tuesday Travel meme this week is all about food of certain place. I am featuring my travel to San Francisco, the fourth most populous city in California. Did you know that San Francisco is the 13th most populous city in the US? Anyway, we went to Chaya Brasserie along the Bay Bridge of San Francisco and we ordered Sushi for lunch.My friend who lives in the Bay Area treat us with a $100 GC, given by his father. Of course, the 5 of us spent more than that so, we chipped in.We don't have much time to roam the place because we woke up late on the second day.
Here we are as we traveled across the bridge, it was fun and exciting!
At night, I just love looking at this bridge. With all the lights, it really looks amazing.
This is the famous crooked road called Lombard Street.
Inside the busy street of San Francisco. Oh I can live in here! That's my friend and we are heading to the train station.
Here I am posing like a tourist.
This is me and my friend, we traveled all the way from from Los angeles. I love our road trip!
Here we are at the Lombard Street.
Posing wacky outside Chaya Brasserie nearby the Bay Bridge.
Thanks for stopping by everyone! I will see you in your blog soon!

Thanks for the comments too.

The Old Spaghetti Factory

Among the unique places that I have ever been to was the Old Spaghetti Factory in California. This is an Italian Restaurant and the building that they used was an old school in year 1909. I was so amazed of the charm of this place because the decors were from the original property of this historic building. The bathroom maybe cozy but you can see the old charm in it.

The photos on the wall were pictures of the old students in black and white prints. It is not scary though because all the areas were well-lighted. Part of the charm of this restaurant was the old antiques, including chandeliers, brass headboards, and footboards at bench backs for booths.

The picture below was their flag decor showing flags of the different countries of the world. They even have the Philippine flag though, the color blue was nowhere to be found instead, the flag was showing a green, red and white colors.

Here is the coolest part, the prominent decor feature is a streetcar in the middle of the restaurant with seating inside. I love every corner that they have.

Since this is a school before, one room has the chalkboard and the restaurant was so cozy.
Oh I love the place and the historic charm that comes with it! Check it out in your place.

Grand Vacation

The pictures below were taken when I visited L.A. It was a paid vacation and the only consolation that I enjoyed after working in the casino for 10 months. Every month, each employee is given a day off and I accumulated 10 days. Here I was with Filipino friends in California. Did you know that I have never seen so many Filipinos but here in California? I was like a child when we had grocery at SEAFOOD MARKET. (smiling...now :-)
Last year is blogging hibernation for me. I have been working full time and all the paid post offers were left expired. It was hard to keep up especially working on a graveyard shift. I swear, it was not easy! Having the opportunity of watching the beautiful sunrise as I go out from my workplace, was a great consolation. Sunrise reminds me of a new day... a new hope! For me, working in the casino was exciting... at first. It prompted me to quit working because of an incident happen. A lady co-worker (PUTI PO) was jealous because her boyfriend was attracted to someone else. That someone else is ME. YULK! They both have problems, they are OLD and ODD too. Anyway, I brought the matter to the management. There was no confrontation but, I feel suffocated! Then, I quit! I gave my resignation letter with a reasonable excuse that we will move back to Orlando.
These pictures were taken in Hollywood at Guinness World Records building. I think this is Robert Wadlow, the statue of the tallest man in medical history 8.11 ft.
I really did have a good time! I was able to talk Bisaya dialect for the whole time I was with my Filipino friends. Man! It was so good to speak my language!

I wish to go back to California and spend more time exploring San Francisco, drive around L.A and take more pictures somewhere in Santa Monica Blvd.

The Citywalk in LA

After working for 10 months in the casino, I decided that I will use my day off traveling to California. I was able to have my 10 days vacation with pay in LA last May. It was a blast because all I can think of was tour the place and rest. How would you like to wake up and just think of where to go next. Yes! NO WORK!

I love the place basically because I have Pinoy companion and we are having a good time. We decided to go to Citywalk and just enjoy the place and we end up having dinner in an Italian Restaurant.The place is gorgeous and I love the boutiques, the stores and all the restaurants around. At night time, they have a free entertainment right here on this place (above). The weather at that time is chilly so, we decided to go indoor and have our dinner. I have only a day to wander this place that is why, I still want to go back! If God permits, I would love to visit CityWalk again.

Santa Monica

This is Santa Monica in Los Angeles. It was already in the evening time that we were bored to stay at home. We decided to just drive by the beach and go to Santa Monica Boulevard. It was freezing when we arrived and so, we didn't stay for long.

I have some nice pictures of this place but, I will be posting it next time. Thanks for stopping by.

Night in Walk of Fame Area

My friend took us to Hollywood Walk of Fame last week and I must admit, I had a grand time. I only have few days visit to Los Angeles but, each day was exciting and fun. Here we are at the front of Kodak Theatre and Sephora building got engaged with what's going on around us. It was already almost 10 in the evening but, the tourists were busy taking pictures of everywhere. That is me wearing the white belt,lol. These cars on display are truly one of a kind. It's a mustang and they are awesome!
The tourists were truly amazed on these cars and everyone took a souvenir shot. I would love to drive this car if I live in Hollywood.
Here is the new mustang with all the high tech gadget inside it. Amazing!
Just love this car!
