Traxx revisited


The best restaurant in L.A. Union Station. Been here many times but Mrs. was overdue for a visit. It's not clear whether she had been here or not. In any case the salad and mezze plate were healthy and delicious.

Not everyone is talking about the environmental benefits of train travel. This sign and I are.

Pacific View mural


As far as malls go, Pacific View isn't bad. For one, it has a view of the Pacific. For another thing, it has this really cool mural.

Lucky Sushi revisited

 

First time sitting next to this mural. Not the first time we enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll - one thing they definitely know how to make sing, and possibly the best thing on the menu.

the beach looked bigger

 

The beach appeared huge due to a mix of lunar, weather and climate factors. I don't ever remember the surf being so far away from the parking at the harbor!
