Lake Tahoe!

We finally took a trip to lake Tahoe! it was short, but a lot of fun. We drove there friday night and camped in the woods. The next day we kayaked around Emerald Bay, drove around the area a bit, and back to Berkeley. Hopefully we will be able to do a longer trip before it gets colder!

Big Sur

About a month ago we went on a day trip to Big Sur. We drove down the famous highway 1 and just stopped on the side of the road whenever things got pretty. Now that school is over we can enjoy our weekends, and we have been! Northern California has been beautiful so far. We are the luckiest to be able to live here, so we will try to soak in as much of it as we can.

The whole day was very foggy and quite chilly, but it was still enjoyable. The landscape looked like it came out of a movie. 

The water was incredibly blue, and there was a waterfall right on the beach. Unfortunately people weren't allowed in this beach, so we could only look from afar. 

We have gone on more trips since, but I haven't been bringing my camera. Both my camera and lenses are almost 5 years old, and they've been rattling like maracas and refusing to focus on things. Hopefully I will be able to replace them within the next couple of years. For now I will have to keep trying to make them work! 

Rose Snacks

There other day I bought rose water because I am an adult and I can do whatever I want.

...

But then I brought it home and had no idea what to do with it. So I went and asked the source of all answers, youtube. I went around and around and finally decided on two recipes: Mini Choux and Turkish Delight (I've tried to make turkish delight before, but this is the only recipe that worked for me. You just have to be patient with the lady in the video) They were both sooo delicious!

Sadly, I didn't take pictures of the turkish delight, but I'll definitely be making it again, I have plenty of rosewater left.
