Hey guys, what is going on?
My name is Lily Monroe and you're listening to Escort Confessions.
Thank you so much for tuning in today.
Today I will talk about my birthday California coast trip to California coast.
So I decided like a birthday present to myself.
I'm gonna visit all of the Fast and Furious locations because I really have been enjoying
this movie in like the last year or so.
Actually since the beginning of 2023.
And yeah, I became quite a fan.
So well actually no.
Oh my god, it's been actually a couple of years since I've been like on and off.
Yeah, so here we are.
So basically went to California for almost a week, left my cats with my mom because I
cannot stand for them to be alone all by themselves for like more than a week.
So yeah, so basically took a flew to LA, rented a car as usual.
And the first thing I did was to visit the market at which the first Fast and Furious
movie was filmed.
And then I went to their house which is little like two-minute walk if not less.
And their house, the Toretto's house is basically like fenced in.
So like you can't really see the entrance, but you could see it's the house and it says
like private property, stuff like that.
Because I'm guessing a lot of people come there every day and whoever owns this house,
they just get tired of it.
And they're like, you know what, we're just gonna put really tall white fence around it.
But you can tell it's the Toretto's house, like I could just tell.
And then people were around it.
So yeah.
And then after that, I drove through Malibu.
Malibu is freaking beautiful if you have not been.
You should go and just drive through and you know, enjoy the Pacific, enjoy the surfing
if you are into surfing.
And yeah, I visited like a bunch of parks, visited Neptune's net which is like a basic
cool spot for surfers.
And had my last drink actually, Corona.
Corona and a Hatuna sandwich.
Yeah, if you can guess why, you get 5 points.
10 points for yeah.
Yeah, so I had my last drink and been sober ever since and it's been pretty good.
Pretty good.
Like yeah, I occasionally, like I was cut off like since last year and then I started drinking
more and more and I'm like, God damn it, I need to quit once and for all.
And I bought a bunch of alcohol like a week prior before I left just to be like, okay,
is this worth it?
And it was not worth it.
Like my time, it did not take it.
And yeah, so basically I've been sober ever since.
But yeah, like drove through Malibu, drove through really, oh my God, the coast is so
beautiful.
Like I can't, I cannot praise it enough.
And if you guys watched 90s Day Fiancé, Big Ed, like it's one of the like characters and
stuff, it's a reality TV show.
And I'm pretty sure I saw him by the Neptune's net.
So like I'm pretty sure I saw him by the Neptune's net, except he didn't have a weird neck and
he was surfing.
Like he had the same tattoos, he was the same fat ass dude and he had long hair.
And I'm like, should I say hi to him?
Like I know who it is.
I'm not a fan or anything, but I'm like, should I?
Should I?
I didn't, which is fine.
And I'm pretty sure I saw one of the cast members from SNL surfing.
I mean, it's Malibu, like celebrities live there.
So it was quite possible.
But yeah, I visited a couple more beaches that night and went.
I drove, oh my God, I don't even remember where I drove to, but I remember before doing
further drive that I should probably get in the ocean.
The ocean was cold, but it was just so gorgeous.
It was pretty hot weather and I'm just like, you know, I just need time to cool off after
all this road, just to like rinse off and stuff and probably going to sleep in the car,
which I drove to Santa Barbara and slept there, tried anyway.
It was a pain in the ass to be honest, because I tried finding restroom.
All the rest stops were closed at 6 PM or 8 PM.
It was either 6, no, it was 7 PM.
It was 8 o'clock.
So like I did not want to go in the stores.
Actually I did go to the store.
I went to one of the grocery stores in Santa Barbara and they did not have any restrooms.
They were closed.
Actually, now that I remember, closed restrooms.
I'm like, I really don't want to go in the ghetto.
So I peed on the beach basically.
Yeah.
And there were still people walking by.
I'm like, what the fuck, guys, get the fuck out of here.
I just have to pee for like three seconds.
And so I did.
I did that.
I felt like a cave woman, but it's fine.
And yeah.
And then I stayed in the car.
I started falling asleep.
Like I covered myself with this tiny ass green screen blanket that I brought.
And around 11.58 or so, I hear a knock.
My window.
And it's the police.
And they told me to park somewhere else.
And he was nice about it.
And I'm like, fuck, okay.
So I parked.
It was freezing.
It was like in sixties, a little bit below sixties actually.
And turned on the heat.
And it was the sign that I should probably not sleep in the car because it gets really
cold.
I was not expecting it to be that cold, but whatever.
And yeah, so I slept in the car.
It was horrible.
I was like, I'm just going to get a hotel.
So I spent a bunch of money on hotels since then for like the next week or so.
And yeah, went to Santa Barbara.
Had a nice morning walk around its downtown.
Ate some figs from the biggest fig tree that they have.
I walked on the wharf.
Went to a couple of beaches.
Went to see a thousand steps.
Those thousand steps were in a really nice neighborhood in Santa Barbara.
And they basically led to the beach, small beach.
I couldn't really tan there because I didn't really have space because everything was like
stones, stones, bunch of stones and a bunch of water.
And it was kind of private property-ish.
So yeah, couldn't even put a towel anywhere.
Saw a really cool church.
And then another church.
And Santa Barbara is really pretty.
Oh, especially the city hall.
City hall is like, ah!
I didn't get the tour just because I didn't feel like it.
But like just the city hall itself is gorgeous.
Beautiful architecture.
Like go to Santa Barbara city court.
You will know what I'm talking about.
City court and city hall.
And yeah, and just like the downtown itself.
I love mornings because that's not when a lot of people are walking downtown.
And yeah, I met this Mexican dude.
He's like, I started a small talk with him.
And then I don't know how it led to it, but he's like, can I get your number?
I'm like, I actually don't use the number.
Like my signal sometimes doesn't work, but you have a great day!
And he understood the hint.
He's like, yeah.
Yeah, even though morning is, you know, I looked like shit that day, so I don't know
why he even flirted with me, but that's okay.
Yeah, so Santa Barbara is like a touristy town.
There is stuff to do, but probably not a good place to live.
Just because it's expensive and shit.
But yeah, Santa Barbara is pretty nice.
And it looks like I need to break this podcast down in a few episodes because the next stop
after Santa Barbara, I drove to Yosemite Park.
And that is coming up in the next episode.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I will talk to you guys next time.
