I know that for some, the city Long Beach is associated with Sublime and Snoop Dogg, riots and minority uprisings, but my Long Beach is much less intense than all that. I spent four glorious years studying at CSULB and have many beautiful memories associated with the city as a result. A few of my good friends are still in the area so I ventured out of my ever shrinking "Santa Monica Bubble" and went for a visit this weekend. And as tends to happen when visiting these days, after exiting the freeway I was overwhelmed with the comfort of familiarity and felt like I had arrived "home." I even went so far as to stop at my usual gas station and run a few errands before meeting the crew.
We took a stroll down the beach to 2nd street and did some window shopping.
Upon returning to my friend's apartment we received a group email from another of our close college friends who recently moved to Peru. Since the three of us were together we decided to call her and say hello. If you'd like to live vicariously through a real live traveler, as I do, you should check out her blog; http://annienperu.blogspot.com/. She takes some stunning photos.
Thai food from Baiplu was the perfect end to a perfect day.
