Saturday already again?! Time does fly. Natasja must have been thinking the same. Last January she made a trip all the way from the Netherlands to Anaheim CA, to meet up with Julie, Eric & Lindsay. This was her first time meeting them, visiting CHA and even her first time in the USA! You can imagine the amount of pictures she took during this adventure....yeah adventure! Hanging out with the Cosmo family can never turn out into a normal trip ;)
Here is the album Natasja Verbeek made about this trip. Here is her story behind the project.
January 22nd I arrived at LAX airport after a 12 hour flight. Lindsay told me I would love SUNNY California....no sun there, there was RAIN! Welcome in the USA ;)
Meeting up with the Cosmo's was awesome and on Saturday they took me on a tour. We drove through Beverly Hills and headed for Hollywood.
Before arriving their we made our first stop....
at the gas station :) Hey when you gotta go you gotta go right?! So we all took something along to drink in the car. Lindsay found a drink that was named kinda funny and it really cracked us up. By the time we arrived in Hollywood my belly hurt from laughing so hard.
After stretching our legs and looking at all the people around us, we headed back to the car to proceed with the tour.
So after Hollywood we headed to Balboa....just LOVE it! We had a nice Italian luner there. I just invented a new word here! luner, an early dinner ;)
Now what is it with the American navigation systems? The only thing I heard that lady say was...recalculate....make a U turn! But than again, maybe the reason was that Lindsay was driving the car! Don't tell him I said that ;) All together it was a day not to forget easily.
On Sunday CHA started and that was a great and overwhelming experience as well. Loved meeting all these people in real life.
After 4 days of CHA we had our last dinner together. Now how could I be leaving the USA without have eaten a decent burger ;)
Thursday morning it was time to say goodbye. Lindsay, Julie & Eric had to catch their flight while mine wasn't going till the next day. I used the rest of the day to buy some nice gifts to bring back home.
