Manhattan Beach

After Marlise and Jan visited my company,
we went to Manhattan Beach.

For a lunch and to relax on the beach.
But first, Jan had to figure out how the parking meters worked.

Quite a strugle, so after a few times trying, he gave up.

But after I gave it a try,
we noticed something was wrong with his credit card.

When we had some credit on our meter,
we searched for a restaurant with a terrace, for lunch.

Eventually we decided to try out the Kettle.

Jan liked it so much,
that he wanted his whole face to enjoy it.

After lunch it was time to chill at the beach.

We walked downwards on Manhattan Beach Bvld,
towards the beach.

Manhattan Beach is a really nice beach,
with a pier and a lot of surfers.

So you always have something to look at.

After we had some sun,
a swim and looked at the surfers for a while,
it was time to go.

But first we went on the pier,
to check out the view.

Getting to know the neighbors

Yesterday I had a great time getting to know the neighbors.

They gave me tips on where to go, what to do and so on.
They even gave me some fun facts about the internet.
That it was invented in California, the story behind it and that the first message over the internet was “login”.

In the meanwhile, I introduced them to some Belgium beers:
– Tripel Karmeliet
– Duvel
– Delirium
– Stella Artois

Here’s a picture with Craig.
