π΄ So Close, So Beautiful - Weekend Escape to LA
Just finished my Berkeley summer midterms and decided to treat myself to a whirlwind LA day trip! Though I came here for summer camp years ago, everything feels brand new this time around π€© My Lightning Itinerary: π In-N-Out Burger - Animal Style fries are a must π Hollywood Walk of Fame - Snapped Marilyn's star & collected vintage pins π¬ Hollywood Sign - Hiked to that perfect insta-angle π Santa Monica Pier - Rode the solar-powered Ferris wheel at golden hour Best Serendipities: βοΈ Caught a plane descending perfectly against palm trees πΈ Found the quirkiest Jack Nicholson star plaque π‘ Screamed my head off on the Pacific Wheel (worth it!) LA's pop culture pulse beats way stronger than SF's! Though I basically speedran the city π Next time I'll: β’ Actually enter the TCL Chinese Theatre β’ Spend 2+ hours at The Getty β’ Try that viral pink wall latte #LATravel #HollywoodAdventure #StudyAbroadLife
