Higashi Hongwangji Buddhist Temple

Well it was back to LA we went. We left San Fran early this morning and traveled on the bus with ten others that were left. San Francisco was an amazing place but at the same time an eye opener to the mass amount of homeless population that reside there, it was incredible how many people were on the streets! Last night we walked home from a bar with eight others from the tour through a section of San Fran called the Tenderloin, this section of the city is home to majority of the homeless population and boy was it scary! In San Fran history tells a story of the homelessness being caused by quite a lot of mental health problems and other cities sending their homeless peoples the San Fran, ironic that it is one of the most expensive cities in the state of California.
Any way we made it to LA and said good bye to some our beautiful tour guide Laura she was absolutely amazing 🙌🏽
And our crazy bus driver Teresa! 😂
We headed back to Santa Monica pier to see it in the day and watch the sunset with our friends that were left, we headed down to muscle park next to the pier that was full of gymnastics equipment that any one can use! We then headed to dinner with our friends Nicole, Chris, Jade and Gaby. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and it was bloody beautiful. After that we headed back to the pier for our friends that hadn't seen it to get photos and then we headed back to the room after a lot of sad goodbyes. We have another big day of travel tomorrow we have to be up at 4 to head to the air port ready to fly out to New York at 7am we are very excited 😊
