Just got back from MOCA. I enjoyed it but some bits were closed due to their upcoming gala, despite their website saying the closure is tomorrow.

I'm into gardens and architecture and was told by the MOCA staff that there was a hidden gem of a Japanese garden behind the Japanese American Cultural Center. It was a complete waste of a walk. The garden may have had eastern touches but it looked like some halfassed suburban backyard interpretation. And it was populated with homeless.

This is the most walking I've done in this city (not counting from the hotel to the venue) and I can't get over how considerate drivers are to pedestrians. And how inattentive and inconsiderate half of the pedestrians are to drivers. If this was Manhattan these folks would be getting squashed by cabs daily.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I wish I had transportation to get out to the coast today, the sun felt good on my walk. I haven't had much luck eating out here in the past but I've got a few new places to try, thanks!
