HASTA LA VISTA California

This will be my concluding post from the land of Hollywood, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and Silicon Valley. I am leaving California and with it United States of America. This tour had its ups and downs and with them their ebb and flows. For the past three days I have been visiting southern California and its most famous attractions namely Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios Theme Parks and Hollywood. It has been a ride full of adventures and fun and will need a complete post dedicated to it once I am done with leaving the country and arriving in Pakistan. Till then Adios!

For some this is the history in making since it is the first time in the history of the game that an African American coach is playing his team in the super bowl. I have no specific favourite team but i would be siding with Chicago Bears for one particular reason. They have a Muslim player in their roster.
