California, I Love You, but I'm Leaving

These pictures are from my hometown of 30 years. Upon returning to California after six wonderful months abroad, I thought I might hate being in California. Untrue. I was sad, definitely. I missed England and traveling and my friends. But I had a renewed and unexpected appreciation for my home. It wasn't as classically beautiful and old, there weren't ancient cobblestone streets or fields of green stretching before me. But California certainly has its own unique beauty. Long Beach has a history of art deco-style which can still be seen in some of the architecture. My little dinky hometown, Bellflower, has its charms as well. Something about the vast urban sprawl of a suburban neighborhood can have its own appeal. 
On that note, however, let me be clear that while I appreciate home and all its charms, I certainly hope I get to travel as much as possible. And it's starting off a good year because today I have all the joy of going to the airport and hopping on a 10.5 hour long flight. England, I'm coming back for ya!

    From Long Beach, CA to Canterbury, England and back. 

    Used to have an obsession with those delicious chemically scented lemon wet-naps. A loudmouth with a tendency for silence. Taking pictures with a Minolta X-700.
