Hangin' Out on the Coast

I woke up late today at around 11AM. My parents suggested that we go to a Japanese restaurant that has outdoor seating overlooking the coast on PV Drive West. I was shocked. My parents always ate at the same few Chinese restaurants in Torrance. Not only were they trying restaurants in a new area, but they were even venturing out into a different type of cuisine. I gladly took them up on this offer and decided to treat. It was a nice change to eat outside with an ocean view surrouding us. We all ordered bento boxes and shared edamame and an appetizer.

Afterwards, we drove around PV Drive West and looked at the magnificent million + dollar cliffside homes. They were all very elegant, new and expensive looking. We stopped at a few lookout points to admire the view even though it was a bit foggy and visibility was limited. Then we drove toward the landslide area to see if the Wayfarer's chapel was open for visitors. I didn' t think we'd be able to get in. Every time I'd come to see the glass chapel before, it was either closed or had a ceremony going on so that I could never go in. This time, though, it was open for visitors. I didn't even know that visitors were ever allowed in. I was so excited! I'd always wanted to see it closer up from the inside. It was gorgeous! The entire thing was made of glass and supported by wood beams. It was decorated with flowers and vines. I took pictures of it at many different angles.






I ran a few errands after this, and then met up with the Boy for dinner and to go to the beach at Hermosa. It was nice to walk around Hermosa, but the fog had really rolled in by now so that we couldn't even see the ocean from the strand, so we went back to his parent's house and watched When Harry Met Sally. I'd never seen the movie before and really liked it.
