Beautiful San Diego (and Fullerton)

This weekend, my friend N and I are crossing off a bunch of things that have been on our t0-do lists for years. One was to have afternoon tea together. The other was to visit our friend J in La Jolla before she gets her PhD.

There were a lot of people playing in the various little coves along the shore.

We lunched at Goldfish cafe, a casual little sandwich shop with a drop dead view of the ocean.

J says this beach is usually overrun with seals, but there were none today. Notice how clear the water is in the bottom righthand corner. That's pretty incredible for Southern California. We wandered around La Jolla, visited a bridal salon because of course I had to scope out the jewelry, and went to Free Tuesday at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

After a long drive back to Fullerton, we went to a Korean tea shop for a light meal and shared a few dishes. Above is spaghetti Napolitan (that's how they spelled it!). As in Hong Kong style Western food, the sauce is slightly sweet.

As a contrast we got spicy squid and rice. The food was quite good.

And a crazy colored Korean shaved ice for dessert. It's a different style from what I'm used to at Mr. Coffee, but I found it more light and refreshing, with really soft tasty mochi pieces (not like the gross hard ones at Pinkberry). I was over-sunned and sleepy from the car ride, so I totally did not get the name of where we ate. Maybe N and J will tell me.
