I was in LA during the days of June 18 – 22.  The trip was all about spending time with my god-grandmother so I mostly stayed in the house with a few random visits to the local areas.   Her house has a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean which I spent hours looking at.

Close by the house is a trail which runs along the Palos Verdes coastline.  Whenever I have free time, I would hike down the trailers with my camera in hand to capture the mesmerizing ocean view.

At the end of the trail lies an old lighthouse with a whale museum nearby.  Observers come to watch and count the whales every year during the whale’s migratory path.  You can receive a free interesting tour from a local volunteer inside the museum.  The tour guide was explaining how they are having an over population of sea urchins and I thought to myself “wouldn’t crazyDiva like to turn them all into Uni”.

On the day I arrived to LA, my grandmother treated me to an extremely delicious apple fritter from the local bakery.  I later went back and purchased and ate 3 more in the span of a day, all by myself.

I also had a chance to drop by the local farmer’s market only opened on Sunday.  There were large varieties of fruits and vegetables, many of which had samples for.  

One of the booths was selling a Mexican fruit called “Cherimoya” that I have never seen before (you can probably purchase it in Toronto as well, but I have never came across it). 

A customer beside me describe the fruit as “a fruit from the heavens, it taste like a combination of pineapple, avocado, strawberries and all the best fruits you can think of”.  Which such high praise, I surely must try some for myself.   The verdict – it tasted exactly like coconut!
