This week I spent three afternoons with friends doing various things around Long Beach. I tried to take an artistic photo representing something of each.

On Thursday, I had lunch with a friend from church. We enjoyed homemade chicken salad sandwiches and delicious fruit tarts from a local bakery. Even more than the food, I appreciated the chance to talk and relax together.January 11, 2012
Location: Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum, Long Beach, CA
On Wednesday, I went to PIEAM (Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum) with another friend from church. Since this museum opened a year ago, I have wanted to see the art and cultures that are represented. Most of the art is from Micronesia, but there was also a small sampling of art from Polynesia and Melanesia. It was a great chance to reminisce on memories from my time in the Pacific Islands and share these stories and knowledge with someone else. January 10, 2012
Location: Sandwich shop, Long Beach, CA
One of my favorite things about Long Beach is the small community feel in such a large city. On Tuesday, I ate lunch with a friend at a local sandwich shop called On Broadway. It had the small town feel. A few regulars came in and the man at the counter knew exactly what they wanted. This man, who I assume is the owner, knew almost everyone who came in and was very friendly. Their tables were all carved from wood, which was a unique decor in the middle of Long Beach. To add to all this, the sandwiches were good and decently priced. The only downside was that it was small, so there wasn't much privacy or many places to sit.
