Amazing Google Map Places: One Stop Photosphere

Here I am again, still obsessing over google maps! The collection I have you for guys in this post are all photospheres, meaning that each is a 360° photograph. They are so beautiful and I just had so much fun making this post! Enjoy exploring!

Pictures from Europe

I traveled to Europe alone over summer and met up with my sister there and here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip. PS I know this post is super late but I still wanted to share!

London 

This is the backyard of the hostel I stayed at

When I was shopping in Camden Town

Love this random little house I found in St. James park

Holland

My sister and aunt

The day of the Holland vs Argentina World Cup game

Black Mountain

Zak and I decided to do a trash clean up in the abandoned arsenic mines over by Black Mountain so I thought it would be nice to take some pictures.

It's a really neat place tucked away in a crevice of the mountain with some cool history to it. The mine was funded by actor and rancher, Frank Hopkins, and was used to obtain white arsenic. At the time, the South had a bad boll weevil infestation and white arsenic was known to be an ingredient for a pesticide that attacked boll weevils. The mine was abandoned not long after it was founded since a few years of rough weather in the South was enough to get rid of the boll weevils. What remains is a cool little secret of San Diego...

The entrance to Black Mountain

I am not entirely sure what this is (oven maybe?)

Destroyed mine shaft

Destroyed mine shaft pt. II

Exploratory mining cave

Crashed Jeep, no idea what the story behind this is

Giant flume that scales down the mountain and to the mines

Climbing up said flume

So yeah, that's it.

Special thanks to Zak for doing this with me! I've been wanting to do this for a while and I'm glad to say that we cleaned up a considerable amount of trash.

Happy Hiking

Summer Hype

Hi! It's Gaby! So not only are we coming up on summer super fast (or it already is summer), but also I recently went through some of my older travel pictures and came across some that got me excited for my trips this summer. I'm going to Paris and a french island for a few weeks. I'm actually half french so my family tries to go there every summer if we can, were super lucky and it's one of my favorite things about the summer. I'm looking forward to it so much and I thought I would share with you some pictures of my trip to Paris from 2 years ago! Check 'em out!

view from our apartment when it was raining one day

view from our apartment (you can see a cafe and the streets)

This is the view from the  Sacré Cœur ( you can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance, and Mont Parnasse in the left upper)

random street by le Jardin du Luxembourg

I don't remember exactly what this is, it looks like a church though 

this amazing little restaurant with w giant tree in the middle that the restaurant was built around.  Also there were vines like a canopy above you and little lights in them. This violin man was playing the while time and trying to sell his CD.

graffiti

random pretty thing

some apartments

Ali took this candid shot of me getting something out of my bag before we started riding the huge ferris wheel

Adorable little restaurant called Au Lapin Agile (lapin means rabbit, agile means agile ((nimble)) so the restaurant is called the agile rabbit)

crowded street

little kitty in a pet shop we looked at (the sign says "do not touch. thank you.)

I really liked the colors of these houses

pretty vines on a house(?)

Ali looking at some little toys

view of le Sacré Cœur 

cute cute windows and plants

the dining room area of our apartment (it used to be a painter's study so it has huge windows)
