UCLA vs. Washington plus fooding at 123 Pho and Great Maple

UCLA vs. Washington

123 Pho + Great Maple

Scooter parking zones in Long Beach.

Not my first choice... 123 Pho.

It's surprisingly edible.

Spring rolls aren't quite right, but they're not bad either.

Is Goodyear erecting a hanger for the blimp?

Drink menu at Great Maple.

Inside Great Maple Pasadena.

Portabello mushroom fries. Good but a bit heavy on breading.

Cheeseburger.

French dip. Reasonably solid.

Long Beach Marathon expo in the morning. Pretty vanilla, although the expo seemed smaller and more crowded this year. Saw some scooter parking areas that other cities clearly need to think about emulating, and then had an only-slightly-above-indifferent lunch at 123 Pho.

UCLA fought Washington hard for 3 and 1/2 quarters... which is an improvement vs. previous games this season? (apologies for the lack of photos, decided not to bother... o_0 )

Wrapped the day up with dinner at Great Maple. Pretty good food: portobello mushroom fries, French dip, and burger, but not enough to be particularly special.
