I arrive into the Los Angeles area<\/strong> just as the work day is ending and the freeways are a parking lot. The sunset is on fire tonight, which makes the long-standing commute somewhat worth it.<\/p>\n

I eventually arrive in El Monte, which feels like little Chinatown mixed in with a healthy dose of Gentleman’s clubs. Sea Bee would love it here. I prepare to end the week with hard work before having the weekend to play.
\"\" I see I missed her call the night before<\/strong>, and this will mark the longest amount of time we’ve gone without talking since we became re-acquainted in November. I text her as I make my way to the Monrovia Falls for a morning hike. She tells me not to worry as she just wanted to chat, and hopes I have a great time this weekend in LA.<\/p>\n

With all the fires and lack of rain in California lately, will there be any water left running?
\"\" It’s not even eight AM yet<\/strong> there are throngs of kids hiking Monrovia Falls this Saturday. The waterfall is somewhat disappointing, but I’m just happy to see water flowing down the rocks.<\/p>\n

After getting a few hiking miles in, I decide to make my way to the coast, settling on the town of Carlsbad. I find a parking spot on the edge of the ocean, then work on navigating my way down to the water from the unstable cliffs.
\"\" I meditate to the ocean waves all afternoon, getting turned on by hot yoga chicks stretching on the rocks next to me. Sea Bee is missing out.<\/p>\n\n\n
