So, it was probably extra meaningful to him when he took his FVHS Troubadours music troupe on an international tour to the Philippines and Vietnam in June.

The first time we participated in HB’s July 4th parade was ten years ago with the YMCA’s Adventure Guides. My big concern back then was whether Maggie & Molly’s little legs would make it all the way up Main Street.

Longtime Huntington Beach resident Bryan Mehr recently took HB Living on a trip to Denmark. For years, it's been his goal to surf in 'Cold Hawaii,' and this trip finally provided a chance. These pictures were taken at Vorupør. The waves turned out to be really good, as well as the vibe in the town and out in the water. His expectations were exceeded. The locals were stoked to have someone from Huntington Beach come all the way over there to surf, and Bryan was equally stoked to be there with all of them.

Strolling around a farmers market makes for a lovely day or evening out. You can sip a healthy shake or nibble on fresh-baked bread as you browse organic tomatoes and an array of honeys, herbs and olive oils.
