Having arrived in Santa Barbara on Friday we quickly adapted to the coastal lifestyle. Our RV park is locate right on the freeway so despite the highway noise it allows us easy access to bike trails that take us either to the coastal park or in the other direction to the downtown area and we are just 2 blocks from the pickleball courts.
Friday night we ate at the best seafood house on the warf. I had an amazing steamed rock crab and John tried the crab cakes. Then on Saturday night we ate ar the marina and had another great seafood dinner. Most of Sat. was spent doing chores but we did get the bikes out for a ride into town to shop at the farmer’s market and then along the shore, taking in the harbor sites like sailboats and sailboat races, sand volleyball, brown pelicans, sand sculptures, and crazy people on bike trolleys, skateboards and inline skates. The weather has been cool, 60’s, and breezy which makes me shiver to see people stepping into the ocean!
Today we headed back to the shoreline trail but this time it was lined with artists, craftsmen, jewelers and painters. We liked several paintings and one photograper, I saw some earrings and some other handmade crafts but didn’t purchase anything. We also explored the Funk Zone - an area with lots of wine tasting, breweries, shops, design centers, and arts galleries. Kind of a neat area.
