Just ME...

  Balboa Village/ Beach - I actually enjoyed this place. Not as big as Newport Beach or Hungtington but quite quaint and nice.  There's a pier with Ruby's at the end, so I guess you can dine and wait for Sunset there.   There's a Pavilion that you can take ferry to an island nearby and even an auto ferry.  There's a nice small place with Ferris Wheel and "Fun Zone."  Not a lto of food options, but there are some tacos, pizza, bbq, funnel cakes etc.

  Went down to Philadelphia Street to Park and climb up the Worsham Canyon Trail.  It was pretty steep to go up and it was extremely hot today at around 80 F.  But was rewarded with beautiful fields of white flower (sort of superbloom).  The entrance from Philadelphia was also closed but I saw a couple of hikers so I just went in as well.  I only met a couple for my entire 1.5 hours hike there.   Seems to be connected to another trail so you can go definitely for miles and miles.

If you are craving for some Bacalo, Pasteis de Nata, or Portugues goodies, then you can head down to Portugal Imports.  Apparently, they imported the Pasteis de Nata from Portugal and baked it here. You can also buy frozen ones for 6.99.   I bought 3 Pasteis de Nata and 3 Queijiada de Nata (their signature Pastry for 10 dollars).  They have a few more like Coconut, Almond, etc.   I also bought a pack of Frozen Pao de Quiejo for $10.

Downtown Paso Robles Winery Sculpterra Winery Tin City Tin City Cider Room Brewery Firestone Walker Brewery Downtown  Quite a nice area to walk around, with lot of nice restaurants.  This really feels like those nice downtowns in California like Napa and Sta. Rosa.   Some suggestions for things to eat and buy: Brown Butter Cookie Company - They only have shortbreads here and in their San Luis Obispo Branch.  Cayucos have cookies. Fish Gaucho - Mexican Food. Sculpterra Winery It's a nice winery, with a lot of really super nice sculptures.  There's also a hiking trail that you can walk around the vineyards.  Do reservations if you want to do wine tasting, otherwise, they are still ok for walk-ins and you can buy a bottle or a glass and walk around. I will have to try the Tooth & Nail Winery next time. Tin City It's off (like 10 minutes away) from downtown and seems like Crates and "Tin" Stores.   Not that big but has Brewery (Barrel House), Cider Room (Tin City

April 3, 2021 (Saturday) This is so far the best food complex in LA/ OC, I think so much better than Anaheim packing district. However, it was kinda too crowded that I didn't feel comfortable - it is still the Pandemic anyways.

Main street in Santa Ana downtown, with lots of restaurants. And 4SM (4th street market) is a complex with lots of food stalls. Seems like this is a trend nowadays.
