Palms in Santa Barbara
Pelican friends
windmills in the desertWhen we woke up in Santa Barbara it was beautiful and sunny as California should be. Had a quick breakfast at the hostel and then walked down to the beach to stroll, collect rocks, and see pelicans and palm trees. We stopped at the farmers market on the way out and picked out some amazing strawberries, peaches, avocados, and veggies. Started driving eastward and stopped at the California Institute of the Arts to check out the graduate studios. We were hungry so we went to the Burrito Factory for some veggie burrito goodness. The drive from there to Joshua Tree National Park took a little longer then we had expected so we made it just around nightfall. Unfortunately all the camping in the park was filled so we had to settle for a hotel room instead of a tent. Luckily, that meant we could go for a drink and some tunes at Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown. This extremely western joint had mixed drinks in mason jars, a rockin' live band called 'The Farmers" and pool tables too. We danced and almost won a game of pool against some local pool sharks and then called it a night.
