Carpinteria, sad to see you go

We are sad to see the end of Carpinteria, a lovely mix of elements (i.e., a beautiful beach, wonderful scenary, peacefulness, close to all amenities, and lovely weather) that made it a great place to live and work. 




Here is a another view (of the mountains in the distance) of our condo. We are the unit with the colourful umbrella.

Ta da!


A couple of weeks ago, we took a hike in the hills near Santa Barbara


A rattle snake on the path in hills.  Just a baby one, but decided it was best not to pick it up for a cuddle.

  A coastal walk with our friends Bill and Bruce, who visited us last week

A beautiful lake in the wine region (Santa Ynez) around Santa Barbara. Oh, the wine is nice too.

We took a trip with Bill and Bruce to the Getty Art Museum in LA.  The grounds and view of the city are amazing.  Oh, the art is nice too.


So long, Carp. You were good to us.  Off to Hawaii!
