6/19/2015 Costco, sushi lunch

After the shrine we went to Costco.  Since it was still Friday in L.A., this counts as my weekly visit.  Most of Costco is the same except for: 

The signs

 Tasting alcoholic beverages 

She was pouring 3 kinds, but notice the sign.

And some of the local favorites:

Then we all went lunch at a conveyor belt sushi place.

First we met the tuna:

Then we watched it being cut up.  They had little raffles for certain sections. We gamed the system, so one of us would win.  

3 pieces from different parts of the fish:

Each plate was color coded - when we were finished, the waitress totaled up all the colors:

ALL of that only came to $77.

After lunch we shopped for some clothes for Jef and the kids.  I wandered the mall just looking.  Yong took the kids home while Jef and I continued a marathon day.  We walked to another shopping center to pick up pencils engraved with the kids Japanese names.  Then we took a train to a 4 BUILDING craft store.  We started on the 6th floor of the one that interested us most and worked our way down.

When we reached the bottom, I threw in the towel.  We still had to take the train home.  We opted for a taxi from the station.  It was about 9 pm when we finally collapsed at home.  All in all, we had been going for 13 hours.
