Pancakes and Surfing

My sister Janice who enjoys a delicious treat every once in a while, (my other sister genevieve is also coming, and enjoys food but not as much as horseriding)as I said is coming into town, and as such we decided it prudent to check out a place that we would go eat breakfast at on Saturday when they are here and boy did we find it. The Original Pancake House. I have three letters for you WOW. They have about 20 different kinds of pancakes from Sourdough to Maple Cinnamon to Coconut-Pineapple.They have crepes that are so big they look like rolled up sleeping bags. Now i know what your thinking, it's not just the plates are huge, they are delicious. It is always packed, we went with some of our friends, only had to wait about 20 minutes to get in, well worth the wait. Sorry no pictures i'll take some this weekend for sure, so you can witness the joy.
After stuffing ourselves we went down to the Hermosa Beach Pier for the International Surf Fest, a series of contests, with life guard contests as well, notice Kieran's Hurley outfit appropriately dressed. The Australians won those though I believe. You may not know this but Redondo Beach where we live is the birthplace of Surfing on the mainland, yes it's true the Hawaiians influenced an Irish sailor by the name of George Freeth in 1907. He also introduced the game of Water Polo to the Sates and designed the "torpedo shaped" life guard buoy used by life guards the world over to this day. Come and see us and we'll take you for pancakes and to see his statue. Notice the little Asian Lady with her umbrella, it was not raining, nor was it sunny? It kind of looks like she is a fairy and its an umbrella from a pina colada, use your imagination.
