Motorcycle Ride

Dan took me on my first motorcycle ride

& I loved it!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it...

it was so cool to ride out in the open air.

You see a lot more than you see riding in a car.

It made me really want to get a scooter! 

We rode up in the Uinta mountains,

it was a beautiful day and I loved the scenery 

 Such a cool waterfall 

it looks man-made but it isn't 

We walked around Mirror Lake

It was a good Saturday!

Happy Earth Day

So, I am back in Utah 

and it's beautiful here.

The weather is perfect

and hot! 

It's so green 

while the tops of the mountains still have snow on them.

This Earth Day weekend I made sure to take advantage 

of this summer feeling weather. 

Yesterday my mom and I went to the new 

City Creek Center in downtown Salt Lake.

It's huge and very nice with a lot of department stores.
Then we drove up to Ogden to go on a hike.
It was hot and there were many people and dogs out enjoying the sun.
The hike ended at a waterfall and the mist felt great.
I really do like hiking and hope to explore more in Utah.

Then today Skylar and Brittany invited me along on a bike stroll through the park.
It was fun and good to see a lot of people out. 

Now, I have to go shopping for sandals and shorts
and get my tan back!

Hollywood

I went with Greg and Tori to Hollywood.
There was a documentary promotion at a house on the Hollywood Hills,
it was actually really cool and I enjoyed my time.
The documentary was about 3 people who traveled the Appalachian Trail for 5 months.
It was interesting and even brought up some of my memories of Peace Corps.
The girl who traveled the trail and made the video was there and talked with us before the video and answered questions afterward.

I think it would be pretty amazing to do something like hiking the the Appalachian Trail but I don't know about for 5 months.

After that we made our way down to Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard to see a couple bands.
I can't believe I had never been down Hollywood Boulevard to see the Walk of Fame before.

Hollywood is an interesting, exciting part of California.
I especially love the Hollywood Hills.
