Belle ville du jour

Santa Barbara, California, from Stearns Wharf yesterday. One of the things the Brazilians kept telling me was that I had never seen an ocean or a palm tree, but I had gotten there from here. It is where I learned Portuguese, in fact.

Axé.

Stunning view of nature’s integrity. Have travelled a lot but never before had seen something like that. Thank you.

@T – really not? Not even southern France, Italy … ? I guess they are more built up … @Hattie – I know!

  I have been revisiting scenes of the past and comparing and, quite frankly, I never thought I could come across something like this of yours! I guess I was speaking loud ? in a metaphorical sense……?… Well, take home message is never say you have seen all you could have seen.

    Wow. Then this is why people travel to see this place — it really is unique.

Better than Porto Fino on the Italian riviera where I’ve been. Also if you stand on the beach in Nice, you can see the golden arches of McDonalds. (At least when I was there.)

That is actually the genius of S.B., it does not allow these things. This is true about the Riviera, it is tackier in fact … I need to visit S.B. soon, it is very interesting how people not invested in it are finding it so stellar.
