Thank God for a good day in Santa Cruz and San Jose March 3, 2020

Started the day with breakfast and then on to Santa Cruz!

 


Good stuff. Now a 30-40 min drive to Santa Cruz! Yay!

Natural Bridges state beach

 

 


 




Funny thing about his area is that its free to park for a couple minutes and supposedly you have to pay after but there is lots of side parking a few yards away from the parking lot. Just do a little trekking. After this I made my way from the Arches to the boardwalk area.





Going to the boardwalk and wharf.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 






There was various areas like Pyramid beach, Mitchell cove, Steamer lane, Surfing sculpture, West cliff, and etc... as you drive your way from Natural Bridges to the Boardwalk. Lots of surfers as you enter West Cliff and steamer lane area. Advice here is that you can park by some residential areas for free providing you can find side parking. As you get closer to the boardwalk its all pay parking from here. So trekking is involved if you want to save some money.

Boardwalk and Wharf

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

The boardwalk is only open on weekends though it was nice to survey around. Some eateries and gift shops were open on the wharf but I didn't eat or buy anything. You can see Sea Lions towards the end of the walk.

Back to San Jose

 


 


 


Close to where Delma's market was is the Monopoly in the park playground. Construction was everywhere so maybe not a whole lot of people were around. Nice area. 









Finale and dinner

 


The car that took me places

This was it. I decided to just eat at In-and-Out for dinner and prior to that I went to Grand Century Mall where mostly Asian people frequent; its a Asian shopping mall to be exact with mainly Vietnamese eateries. Anyhow, next time!

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Another day in Hawaii-Nei 8/11/20 Murals in Oahu.

Well, since hikes and most of the beach (non-swimming) are out of the question. I tried to go the non-Kaka'ako areas to take pics of murals though I ended up going to Kaka'ako for a little bit to scope out my next mural adventure. Without haste, lets get started. Before I start, copyright and credit are given to the respective owners of the murals/paintings. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your pieces of art. I'll also do my best to address the locations as best as possible for those interested. Mural #1     Location:   939 Ke’eaumoku St, Honolulu, HI 96814.  Its the strip club 939 across Dominoes Pizza . This one caught my eye simply because I drive around this area frequently and I saw it the other day, so I decided to inspect it up closer. *Update Feb 2021* Apparently, the girl's chest in the painting is whited out now if you decide to sojourn into this area. What a way to ruin some art, really. Kinda ironic when it's still a stripclub.  ...
