Swedish Invasion

This past weekend was an amazing time for me.  My good friends Farrah (bff status) and our Swedish friend Pontus came up ans stayed with me (I can't believe we've known each other for 3 years already!) - bringing with him 3 additional Swedes (Viktor, Henrik, and Lotta - all wonderful, fun people).  We laughed until our stomachs hurt, stayed up until the wee hours of the night, explored Los Angeles, and got our party on.  I already feel like they are such close friends to me, and I can't wait until we all get together again.

Venice Beach

My beautiful Bianca let me stay with her one night, and we hung out at Venice Beach.  It was a gorgeous day, no clouds in sight.  After walking around the canals, we picked up lunch and laid out.  It was really nice to get some more time with her before I got back here to Sweden.

Although the weather has been pretty lovely since I got back, I find it odd that people just lay out in the middle of the grass...I require a body of water in order to get a nice tan.  The other bummer is that because we're so much more north of the equator than southern California, it takes much, much longer to get the same amount of color.

Anyway...here's shots of my beautiful Bia.

yes, that is the house seen in Valentine's Day

the houses on the canal had tons of gorgeous flowers everywhere



look at her skinny little legs!

ah, to live along a man made waterway

had to take a shot of this



I don't know why, but I'm always amused by taking pictures of myself in the reflection of people's sunglasses
