I went to a lot of new places today. Went to a new restaurant. It wasn't for me so I went looking for a Vietnamese restaurant. Surprisingly, there was one a half block away in an industrial area, tucked in between industrial type businesses. There was no parking so I kept going. I arrived at a large sporting goods store and they happened to have their own Vietnamese restaurant in front. They have Vietnamese dim sum! I didn't get a chance to try any but I might come back. I pestered the owner with ingredients questions. He might have thought I was annoying or he might just always be that abrasive, or he might be part Chinese. I went into the sporting goods store to get some things I've been meaning to buy for a long time. I got one of them, but at least I tried. The help was helpful, so that's good. I went to a beach park I don't normally go to. I found a place where you can sit in the shade near the water. The water was glassy. You could see coral, rocks and seaweed only a few inches below the surface. It was evocative, like you were looking at a city from the air. There is something there. Then I came here. I had some ahi, rice and a salad. Wish the portions were larger, still hungry, but otherwise it was good.
