Oceanside Pier And In N Out

LAST DAY ON OUR CITY TOUR...

In the evening we walked around the Oceanside town.  It was quite quiet on a weekday, not the most happening place in this area near the beach.  We walked along the Oceanside's pier which is one of the longest over water-pier on the west coast of United States.  I googled, it was about 1954 feet long, stretching it out to the sea.  I think daytime would be a better view of the sea, for me, at least.... I stared out to the sea during the dark and it was kind of frightening, with nothing at both sides.

My brother-in-law did not walk along the whole pier, three of us ladies did... and we stumbled along a drunkard lady who was kind of "harassing" us with questions.  We just walked on and she followed suit... we just ignored her and carried on taking pictures and she stood waiting for us.  

Quickly we walked back to where my brother-in-law was waiting for us and we told him.  Soon the lady came back and as soon as she saw us with him, she came over and talked to him, crackling all the way.  I think she must be "high" cos no one understood what she was talking about... Anyway, we just let her be and after awhile, we made our move back to our car.  This time she didn't follow us... Well, nothing happened, just a kind of experience, never walk alone at night, just like in the movies.... LOL... 
 
In the night... going to the pier....
At the entrance....
Still at the beginning....
Looking down from the pier....
From the sea angle....
We walked until the blue building which hosts a restaurant....
On both sides are sea water.... 
I am standing in the middle of the sea.....

The next morning we checked out and had our meal at IN n OUT....
This is the only place where I could finish one whole burger by myself!
It says..."Come on, eat me... eat me"
Thumbs up for In N Out....

Sightseeing And Food At Oceanside

OCEANSIDE... The name of the place where my sister landed many many years ago and the place where she got "tied down" to an ex-Marine... so this place brought back a lot of sentimental memories to both of them.

And so we were taken around the town, listening to their love history and ended in a waterfront seafood restaurant called the Broiler.  I have been here twice, once few years ago and I can still remember the place very well.  Not much changes except this time the company is different.  Oh yes, I enjoyed the food this time round, much better than the first time... and the reason is that I was still adjusting myself to eating western food then, and of course by now, I learn to enjoy the dishes here including the creamy clam chowder!  

Our morning breakfast before we checked out from here....
We had hard boiled eggs as clearly shown....
Porridge with chicken and spinach...
Bagels with peanut butter...
And Fruits!
Thumbs UP!
And along the waterfront restaurant....
Fish and Plenty of Chips....
We ordered two plates to share....
A plate of salad to share..... too....
Mussels... 
Clam Chowder...
Tacos with Salsa... 
That was about all...
Yes, we are light eaters...
Including the Man himself...
And the pictures on that day!
