You Really Can't go Home Again

June Gloom in Del Mar

Driving up PCH from San Diego....I found that I have no idea where the old places of Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach...etc...have gone. I got lost numerous times--in places where I used to LIVE!

We like it BIG: Matt poses with giant spectacles at a Euro spex place in Laguna Beach.

Matt: being adventurous and digging right in to his Lunch Box at Sapphire Laguna


The "five different tastes" Lunch Box at Sapphire Laguna. Clockwise, from top left: southern fried chicken with baby greens, roast corn, dried cranberries, ranch dressing; hand cut potato chips with salt & rosemary; sesame-crusted ahi tuna with greens, enoki mushrooms, long beans, Japanese dressing; Thai lemongrass chicken lettuce wrap, green papaya-mango salad, peanut and sweet chili-lime sauce; sauteed jumbo shrimp in rosemary garlic milk with spinach-ricotta torelloni, grilled artichoke. "YUM"


"Matt's still life": I like it!



Why I need never go back to Laguna Beach again. Tens of these big resort places....you just can't go "home" again.... the glitz is on, but the charm is gone!

We finally had to stop for a treat at Scandia Bakery. I had a treat there thirty years ago....

Matt was transfixed by the huge homes and their varied designs on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific and Laguna Beach.
Tomorrow, Tuesday: Disneyland!
