The discovering. From Berlin to Little Women.

My first official morning in Long Beach started off just the way I would have wanted it. With a yelp.com search. Then a local restaurant called The Breakfast Bar that was only a few blocks from the beach. By this time we were almost mostly sure that we could handle walking around downtown Long Beach. We ate local and talked to locals and asked directions from the one girl that wasn't a local. But got good directions and managed to stumble upon the beach. The Pacific Ocean.

After trying to figure out where we were supposed to walk on the sidewalk as to not get hit by any rogue bicyclers or those weird broken-half-skateboard-things, we made it to Berlin. Berlin the coffee shop, that's also connected to a real, live record store. With listening stations and all the Michael Jackson cd's you could want. Then came a nap. And with the help of yelp we found Pine Avenue and Alegria Cocina Latina. Since they're known for their sangria, we clearly had to judge it for ourselves. They passed. And of course sit outside. Everywhere. So while we're eating dinner outside, we noticed a few cameramen across the street at The Federal Bar. After a little staring and making fun of people trying to get their car valet parked who were in the way of our snooping, I figured out it was a few of the cast members of Little Women: LA. Since I literally have seen it for a combined total of 4.5 minutes I couldn't tell you who exactly it was but I was pretty stoked to say I saw a tv show, even if it does air on Lifetime (it still counts).
