Hiatus, Aloha From Los Angeles, Ca

It’s in Los Angeles, California where I spent some days to be with a few friends and confreres; they welcomed and invited me for dinner a great experience, well appreciated! With the continuing summer heatwave, it limited the option to travel, however, with enthusiasm and willingness to move along – made me realize that the world of migration articulates the same tone, ‘let’s move on.’ Part of the background across the whole land hills and dry lands, low houses with a common style similar to those in my homeland: Philippines with Spanish influence that defines so far. Los Angeles with its growing residents Latinos and Asians, Europeans and Afro-Americans most of them are Mexicans, along with Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos like in Chinatown. Oh, their presence here as immigrants enables one to understand that California stands like any other lands swamped with a hodgepodge of immigrants. Those homeless people you’ll find in every place restaurants and other business sites the Angelinos in the cityland, in Hollywood city where I had a chance – to visit and enjoy some lovely sights with my friends and confrere in the religious life. The Walk of Fame and other landmarks to see lovely displays like souvenirs and mementos; oh Los Angeles, the city of cultures! where Catholicism grows in legendary proportion.
