Colors of My Heart

The only concern I had while living in Mexico was safety.  At that time, incidents such as kidnappings, robberies, and even murders were frequent.  For peace of mind, I often traveled to the United States  during vacations .  These photos were taken during a Christmas holiday trip from Mexico to Las Vegas. My family stayed at the Bellagio, enjoyed the fountain show, and rode the Ferris wheel.  For a while, we were able to forget the security risks back in Mexico and truly relax.

There’s a Starbucks in Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles, CA) that I will never forget. Nestled right in front of the vast Pacific Ocean, it offers a breathtaking view that makes every sip of coffee feel like a moment of peace.  What made it truly special were the evenings—watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon, painting the ocean in shades of crimson and gold. I remember sitting there, completely immersed in the beauty, feeling time gently slow down. It’s been nearly twenty years since that visit, but the memory remains vivid in my heart. Among all the Starbucks I’ve ever been to, this one stands above the rest. It wasn’t just about the coffee—it was about the serenity, the view, and the quiet joy of being present in such a beautiful moment. Even now, I consider it the best Starbucks I’ve ever experienced. rencho palos verdes starbucks - Bing 地図 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.2 / 1/277s / ISO25 / 0.0 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.5 / 1/280s / ISO25 / 0.0 Participating in the ranking If you thi...
