Ramen, Beaches and PBC

After the burial service today, a group of us went out to a noodle shop called Ebisu Restaurant in Fountain Valley for lunch. This is the lunch special with miso ramen. It also came with curry rice, pot stickers and a drink for $9. Way too much food. And thank you to my cousin for the wonderful, tasty lunch.

After lunch, my brother in-law took us to visit with his brother and sister and we stopped at the northern end of Newport Beach along the way. This is an iPhone photo using the Pro HDR X app. The beach was pretty deserted. That is my niece and brother in-law walking near the water.

It was a very short visit to the ocean as we then were on the road again to meet with my brother in-laws relatives at his brother's home to the south. I just took a picture of this interesting flower at the path leading to the beach. Not sure what it was but looked kind of cool.

Tomorrow, I head back to Fairbanks. Here is the last PBC video that I have stored up. It was taken on my commute home last Tuesday. Hopefully, I can get a few recorded on Sunday before I head up to Barrow on Monday.

  1. Although, I'd take the ocean over your icy world any time I have to admit that this PBC ride was especially nice with the sun light creating the illusion of warmth.

    1. Only an illusion. It was a nice, sunny ride home since I needed to do a little preparation for this trip. As always, seeing my relatives again is wonderful. This is the same side of the family that had a reunion last July.

  2. A lovely looking ramen bowl. I hope it was tasty! You got your noodle comfort food when you needed it.

    The two beach photos are so warm, clear, happy...like from another planet. Seriously. I need to get out of here.

    I think that's an agave.

    1. The ramen bowl was very tasty. The place was recommended by by cousin's son who lives in the area. The beach wasn't cold but, as you may guess, it wasn't especially warm either. Not many people out on a Friday afternoon.

    1. I like that iPhone app. It seems to work pretty well. I've been using it for years and I like the results.

  4. Lovely beach shot to be sure. Was it warm?

    I am sure you are looking forward to getting home and taking more videos. Safe travels.

    1. It was a whole lot warmer than here but for there, I think it was considered cool. About 70°F. More videos coming up...
