A few weeks ago we took a drive up to Long Beach to see our friends Paul and Wendy. The move to Long Beach was fairly recent for them, going from Huntington Beach, to LB. We had planned to see them earlier, but with family crisis, we just did not make it.
The drive was fairly easy, but finding their place was bit more challenging. The are deep in an enclave that is really nice, with some huge, multi-million dollar homes right around them. They have a guest house, at the back of a bigger house, and it is very cute, designed in a very Frank Lloyd Wright style.
Their location is excellent, just a 5 minute walk from the town center, where there is a street loaded with restaurants, bars and unique shops (not the usual tourist crap). And just a 5 minute jog from the beach. We walked down to one restaurant, had an excellent lunch, walked the streets window shopping, stopped for a huge brownie at a pastry shop, stopped for another drink, and headed back.
It was fun hanging out and seeing where they live. And visiting with the two dachshunds, Frankie and Beans. They have since made two trips down here for dim sum and poker night, so we need to make another drive up there soon. There is a sushi bar that looked REALLY good that we will have to try!
