Dropped off a car for Jen. Wanted to have dinner somewhere different so we opted to visit Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Time for an early dinner at Monsoon Cafe.

Here I am waiting for dinner.

Here's what the Third Street Promenade looks like - generally, it's more crowded - this was late afternoon on a Wednesday.


After a dinner like that we walked around a bit. Adjacent to the Promenade is Santa Monica Place - a mall.

El Pollo Inka is a Peruvian restaurant that serves an excellent dish called "Vainitas de Pollo" (French cut string beans with chicken) -- try it! This one is in Lawndale. The place is not much to look at but you won't be disappointed.
