Santa Barbara

04/04/07 at 11:27 PM | In California, Trips | 4 Comments

As promised here are some pictures of the trip that my girlfriend Teiko and I made this weekend. We drove up to to Santa Barbara on Saturday, stayed one night and returned late Sunday night.
On Saturday we walked down the main street with its stores, bars and restaurants. It eventually extends to a long pier into the Pacific, where we enjoyed the last of the sun beams. On Sunday we visited the historical Santa Barbara Mission (founded by Christian missionaries some hundred years ago) and checked out Santa Barbara’s lovely botanical garden. In the afternoon we barely made it to some wine tastings in the nearby town of Solvang — this was originally a settlement of Danish immigrants and still has some typical architecture in its town center.
All in all it was a great trip (although way too short of course), both Teiko and I had a great time. :) Hopefully it won’t be too long until we find time for another venture like this…

  1. Hey big boy ;) – I think you left out the most crucial part of the trip – shopping at the factory outlet mall?? where you got your fancy basketball shoes? and your girlfriend didn’t purchase anything? :D Next stops: Yosemite, SF, Monterey, Napa, Sonoma, SD, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, too many places, so little time. One thing to be sure, you’re fab to travel with! Can’t wait until our next adventure!

  3. Hello Lars,

    may I add my 10 cents worth. Nice pics & fabulous places, but most important, nice companion accompanying you ;-)
    So I join the “club of jealous guys”, founded by Larissa.

    see you
