Santa Cruz was the highlight of a our second amazing week. I went to UCSC and lived in this gorgeous beach town for five years... way back when. Returning was filled with so many wonderful memories, sweet reunions with dear friends, delicious food, and the ocean. THE BEAUTIFUL OCEAN! We all are so happy here, and I feel like I'm me again. I'll be bottling up this feeling for our return!
Maya... I was a banana slug too! Your vacation looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're having this time to restore yourself. It all looks wonderful.

ReplyDeleteOh, when I saw the first photo, and along with the title, I just knew where you'd been. I spent a few summers in Santa Cruz way back when as well, in the middle of road tripping following a touring band around the West Coast. I loved loved loved Santa Cruz, and all the kind folks who made our trips through there such a trip. I'm glad it filled you up...as your photos reminded me of a time long ago on how I would get my soul filled up. Thank you!
