We arrived in Santa Barbara on Sunday night and happened on to a nice, eccentric motel called the Agave Inn. Ledbetter beach and Shoreline Park are beautiful so we’ve spent most of our day time there. Des made a new friend at The Surf and Wear Beachouse. Kim has run his shop for 40 years and it’s a combination “surf Mecca” and museum. He designed the surfboard that appears in the movie, “Apocalypse Now”.  We also met up with 2 other old friends. Sandy and her sweetie Leela were finishing up a California tour. And, Andy, a former radiology resident with Des,  lives here full time and took us all out for Italian food. We plan to surfboard shop today!
