Irvine, CAGreetings again! Stanley and I have been in Irvine, California a bunch. California is a neat place. You may already know this but is all the way on the other side of the country from Delaware. We border the Pacific Ocean. Also, California has a governer that you may know. I will attach a picture below:
To get to Irvine, Stanley and I drive through a lot of very famous places including Los Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Irvine is in Orange County (or the "OC" as it is known.). Here is a map:
Irvine is a bit odd. The whole town is owned by one company-- The Irvine Company. It also has some very different features than you will find in Delaware. First of all, it has a really neat mall called the Spectrum. At the Spectrum, all of the stores are outside. There are lots of palms trees and pretty flowers AND they have a ferris wheel in the middle of the mall. I will attach a picture below:
In California, we have a much different climate than in Delaware. It never really gets hot or cold. It stays about 70 degrees year round. Also, the trees don't lose their leaves and it is green even in the winter. There is not a lot of difference between the seasons. The only difference is that it never rains in the summer and will rain every once in a while in the winter. Here is a chart showing the climate differences between Delaware and California.
Unlike, the different countries that I visit, California has the same money and same language as Delaware... well, for the most part. California borders Mexico. Many people speak Spanish in California. Also, California has a large problem with Mexicans coming into California illegally. Along the highway you will see signs like this:
This sign means that you should watch out for illegal immigrants on the highway. Sometimes, they will run across the highway trying to get into the US and it can be very dangerous.
Here are other pictures of Irvine:
I hope all is well with you!
Sincerely,
Amanda
