That drive was incredible. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Kerry sadly couldn't enjoy it as much as me, since she had to concentrate on all those winding roads.

Then we arrived in Santa Barbara...

...which is also beautiful.

Not least of which being, I got see this.

Though it is irritating to everyone I watch Psych with now, as my commentary tends to be "I've been there" at every establishing shot.

And I found this on the pier, so I had to take a photo.

We had dinner on the pier and I got this fantastic cocktail.

They hollow out a pineapple and fill it with alcohol.

I took it with me when we went and some guy cycling past shouted "Nice pineapple!" Santa Barbara is weird, but awesome.

Photobucket
We went for a walk along the beach...

...watched the sunset...

...then Kerry buried my leg.

I named him Shawn. I wasn't going to get a cocktail until I realised it came in a pineapple. Then I had no choice.

Its so beautiful. I want to live there myself.




I hope your brother is okay. I know I missed your post. All the best to you and your family

He more or less chased everyone out of his hospital room with his charming personality...aka, he's currently being a grumpy asshole. So yeah, he's doing better. :p I know this kid.

Thanks.
