The title of this post says a lot already. What I was taught as a child is that a woman not only has to have her “beauty sleep”, but also her “beauty break”. By “break”, I mean simply a week of total relaxation doing things you enjoy. After a very stressful month of personal family issues, midterms and other minor hassles, I decided to get my seven-day “beauty break”. I decided to go to one of the places I absolutely love the most and if you think “pink” like me, you can probably guess where I’ve spent most of my reading break………….but since I know that most of the readers out there are not really fond of guessing, I’ll just say it. I spent my break in beautiful, sunny California. Since I was a child I’ve always loved everything about this place. When I was seven, I told my dad that I was going to live someday there. It’s gorgeous weather, the palm trees, the overall atmosphere just captured my heart from the very first day. San Francisco is absolutely a lovely city, the fisherman’s wharf area, the pier, the golden gate bridge, little Italy, japan town, chinatown are all areas that make this city absolutely unique. The famous “cable car” also reminded me of my own city, Milan, and made me feel like if I was back home. I also had the opportunity to visit Berkeley, Davis and Sacramento. Sacramento, is definitely not a touristy place, but the area I was located in called “Old Sacramento” was very cowboy- western style and particularly original. The hotel I stayed in was a huge boat and the overall atmosphere was just amazing. Overall, even the most small town of California such as Davis and Berkeley didn’t disappoint me. There is always something to do in good, old, sunny California. My heart belongs to this place and I know that someday I will live there and keep my promise.
