The sunset is on fire tonight, which makes the long-standing commute somewhat worth it. 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**, 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. 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** 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. 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. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/trippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20trippin%27%20through%20new%20places%20in%20La%20La%20Land&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Ftrippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/trippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/trippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/trippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/trippin-through-new-places-in-la-la-land/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
