Empire State of Mind

I chose this title because Jay Z attended the event I was at last night, and performed this one song, which is so emblematic of this city, and captured so much of my dreams and hopes when I was desperately looking into moving to NY...Even if I've heard the song for too many times, it was still quite moving to finally sing it loud in NY, in front of Jay Z himself. 

Arch of birds

We went to San Diego for Thanksgiving last year, and once again I was amazed by the beauty of nature in California, and the variety of birds and sea animals we found there...We went for a walk along the coast, and on our way back to the car, as the day was coming to an end, found this colony of brown pelicans, resting and pampering by the deep blue water.
