732 February 20-21, 2022 Santa Barbara

Sunday was a chore day and a NASCAR day and a shopping day and a laze around day.

Both days, I did laps around the showground lot to get my steps in.

Today, we went back to Santa Barbara with our bikes.

We saw a bunch of black-crowned night herons in the parking lot.

We saw swimmers about 100 yards from shore. I was in awe of the strength and bravery that it takes to swim out there and they were fast!

We entered Shoreline Park…no bike riding here but the views were really pretty so we pushed our bikes, stopping frequently to look at the ocean.

There was a set of steps leading down to the beach.

We turned south and rode for a couple of miles until the bike path turned inland.

We rode onto the pier thinking we might have lunch there, but it was very busy. We took our bikes back to the Jeep and walked to the harbor. We ate lunch at Salty At The Beach and had our first poke bowl followed by excellent salads.

After lunch, we walked around the harbor. It was windy and chilly and invigorating and just what we needed after our meal.

We had a great day!
