Long Beach Aquarium and Venice Beach Redux

We left Anaheim in the morning, returned our Jeep and rented a Cobalt (you would think smaller cars are easier to drive? THINK NOT!)  

We went to Long Beach to go to the much talked about Long Beach Aquarium. The aquarium wasn't large, but still nice. If you have kiddies (why else would you be there? unless you are Christopher and I and love fishies), they are in for a treat. They let you pet sting rays and little sharks (I didn't go for that one). The admission was $23 American each. I still thought it was worth it. 

We left the aquarium and went to Venice Beach, the beach of debauchery (apparently). We walked along the boardwalk and encountered the World's Greatest Wino, Harry Perry (the turban wearing, guitar playing rollerblader), myriads of clowns, and henna artists.  Lots of little shops and what not, worth the walk. 

Restaurant: 

Japanese Sushi Grill on Lincoln Ave 

- The. Best. California. Rolls. Ever.  The sushi was amazing. The restaurant is Zagat rated. Drools. 

IHOP

- I am Canadian. We lack IHOPS. I love IHOP.
