It was my two year anniversary being in America and I was on my way to LA to see Lamont, Nancy and Selah. I was happy and excited. I was also little sad though as the earlier days I had had lot of fun with my boys KJ and Justin and leaving to LA meant I wouldn't be seeing them anymore for a long time. But...oh well...there's always skype and LA was just 3 hours away. Couldn't wait to see the Hollywood sign, another dream of mine :)
It was so good to see Lamont and Nancy again and oh boy how much Selah had grown. Lamont was the best guide ever and took me straight to the Walk of Fame. There were so many stars and the walk was so long. I didn't really want to go too far as it was so hot outside, so I took my pictures with the stars that were close to me and luckily some of my favorite like Sandra Bullock and Charlize Theron were there( not in real person, but as a pink stars). I also saw the Kodak Theatre were all the Oscars are, the Chinese Theatre, Beverly Hills, Rodeo drive and glimpse of Hollywood sign.
The next day Lamont and Nancy took me to the Santa Monica beach. It was amazing, just like in the "Baywatch". It was my first time to swim in the Pacific Ocean and I was pretty disappointed, as it was so freacking cold. Nevertheless, I tried out these waves and were satisfied with myself. In the evening Lamont took me to the "In'n'out burger" that was CA must have and it did taste delicious.
On my last day there Lamont and I went for a search of a good view to the Hollywood sign. We lost it couple of times behind the trees and buildings, but finally got a good spot. It had been wonderful three days with my old pastor and his family, but it was time to go back to DC.
I can't stop mentioning the book Lamont gave me when I left. It's called "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson and it's the best book I have read so far, no kidding. It made me think about my life in a different way and I wish that all my friends would read it someday.
