The city of Santa Barbara is the featured
attraction, with its picturesque waterfront and abundant
attractions, museums, trendy restaurants and boutiques. All of
the ingredients that make this seaside city north of Los Angeles
such a special place came together for us. The morning
temperature was a breezy 18ºC; the skies were clear and blue.
Foamy waves lapped the golden sand on our right, while on the
other side the purple silhouettes of the Santa Inez Mountains
loomed over the city's signature white stucco buildings with
red-tile roofs.
