FINAL DAY OF LONG BEACH








After spending much time at the Aquarium Barb and I were off to view some of the neighborhoods. They have a great map to do so as well as Barb having a gps system in her phone. Since I was going to be staying in the East Village area, the location of the Courtyard Marriott, it was the last of the sightseeing before Barb had to head back to Sacramento. But, wait, we have to eat lunch first!

Wokcano seemed like a good spot with its locale in a section called The Promenade. I vowed not to have sushi again, but couldn't resist a particular one called, Late Night Party Roll consisting of crabmeat avocado roll topped with baked lobster, scallop and smelt eggs in a creamy sauce.

I had beef short ribs with broccoli while Barb dined on the spicy shrimp with walnuts.

The most interesting aspect of my stay at the Courtyard Marriott was the room's location. It was on the top floor in a corner with a view of the Queen Mary. In fact, there was a photo of the Queen Mary on the opposite wall and taking the right shot imposes the real one onto the photo.
