Joe drove the whole way from Wilcox to Los Angeles and again, we traveled through sixty-five million different sights.
We saw craggily rocks and high peaked mountains, but also: orange tree farms and a windmill farm! I know that California is very pro green energy, but it was startling how big and expansive the windmill farms were.
(Some of the windmills)
On the way out of Arizona, we stopped at a rest stop that had trees with green trunks! There was also a sign saying to stay on the path because there were poisonous snakes and insects around. I also saw a lizard dude. hahaha
(Green trunks!)
We got Joe a U-Haul so he could load his stuff and her sister's stuff to his apartment out here.
Ali and I returned to her place and began searching for a new apartment. The going for that has been rough, lots of places are charging a huge amount for deposit and then don't include anything!
But Ali's place has a pool and hot tub, which we've been taking advantage of while we can :)
We've also taken in a stray. Her name is Haley and she's a 22 yr old Second Core Member as well.
I've only been here two days, but LA seems quieter than I was expecting. Maybe once I settle in and begin exploring and celebrity stalking, it will be more exciting.
But on a whole, the trip was amazing and one of the best moments of my life. We literally left a forest of greens and saw different ocean vastness and a crushing blankness only provided by sprawling deserts.
The colors alone were worth the gas and hotel costs. Blue skies battle sea water for prettiest calming view. Dark mountain tops guarding over us told stories in greens and browns. The bright yellow sun shone on dusty reds.
It sounds cliche, but this trip was a once in a lifetime event and something everyone should have the chance to try.
