Kickin’ It With Alex And Carol In Long Beach

Between Friday and Saturday we probably did 8-10 different activities, so many I’ve lost track but here are some pictures.

Alex took me for a Whaler boat ride around the marina and out to the Queen Mary. The picture above is me just goofing around in post, and below, us.

We went over to the Long Beach Art Museum and ate at the cafĂ©, Claire’s. The sculpture below is called Structure and Flow created by Claire Falkenstein. The water wasn’t flowing in the structure so unfortunately you can’t get the real feel of the piece.

The food was very good, and we met up with a couple of A&C’s friends. As you can see I was having trouble with the edge of a pano.

The museum was having a Keith Haring show, not entirely comprehensive it seemed but the museum is small.

Some small-scale cutouts showing Haring’s contribution to Luna Luna. You could have seen all of the works of the amusement park that had been restored, in LA for several months, but they packed it all up getting ready for the next city. Here is my visit to Luna Luna!

Long Beach has a few neighborhoods full of these awesome Craftsman houses.

Next we went to Naples Island where we would spend the night at Kevin’s house while A&C watch the dog in Kevin’s absence. That’s Kevin there on the left and Tim on the right from a picture off the internet. Tim passed away just a few months ago and it’s been a sorrowful time for Kevin and their legion of friends and relatives.

One of my favorite features of the Naples house.

Out for a walk in the morning and then home sweet home (and a nap!).
