TEEN TIMES by Cody Chandler Hilton

WEEKEND IN REDONDO -- LOBSTER ON THE MENU

The annual Redondo Beach Lobster Festival was a great place to enjoy all things by the sea. The Redondo Pier has every kind of boating experience you could want. We selected to take a ride on the Racer, a fast speed boat that is a one-of-a-kind on the West Coast. The boat departs from the Redondo Beach Pier, and holds about forty people.

During the trip  the boat stops for a few minutes and patrons can photograph dolphins. The dolphins seem very close because the boat is so low in the water, and this provides great photo opportunities. The ocean was extremely calm during our trip, and it was a really nice experience for our whole group.

The trip passes by floating buoys loaded with sleeping seals, and gives people an upclose look at the many fishing vessels in the harbor area that bring in the catch each day for hungry visitors.

The Redondo Marina is filled with restaurants and shops to buy gifts. It also has a huge game center for children and adults. Fish is everywhere, and is cooked in so many ways that it is hard to  select what you want to  eat.

There is a also Voyager boat trip from the Redondo Pier that is suited for younger children or older people that travel slowly up and down the coastline for views of the beach areas.

If you like lobster the Redondo Lobster Festival is a great time to visit the marina area. They have so much food, and good music.

Thanks for reading Teen Times, and I hope you come back next month.

Slow Food USA

Soggy tater tots. Mystery meat. Fast food and refined sugar.

This is too often the reality of our children's school lunches. America's schools need our help to bring about serious change.
Your gift to Slow Food USA can make that happen.

On Labor Day, over 20,000 people in all 50 states gathered together at nearly 300 "Eat-ins" to show their support for real food in schools. The collective result has been impressive: we attracted the attention and appetites of state and federal policy-makers and received over 250 local and national media hits, and thousands of people signed on to Slow Food USA's Time for Lunch petition.

But our work has only begun in the fight to get real food in schools - we critically need
your gift today to keep applying pressure and force our legislators to take notice.

And the best part: during the month of September only,
your donation of any amount will make you a member of Slow Food USA.

Here is why we need your support right now. Slow Food USA is working to directly impact national and local food policies. From the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act to the Farm Bill, we will be building alliances, bringing in key industry experts and heading to Washington to demand change.

Give more if you can and less if you can't. The point is -- we want you with us.

Our kids deserve more than a fast food lunch, and our communities need access to fresh, real food.
Your support today will help make that happen. Thanks for your support and we look forward to your involvement!

With thanks,

Josh Viertel
President, Slow Food USA  www.slowfoodUSA.org
