Day 12: With a little help with my friends

Everything we’ve been doing so far but with friends makes it infinitely better. We woke up and walked a km down the street to find breakfast. We didn’t find the place we were looking for but the the Mexican diner we stopped at was as authentic as it got! As early as it was, I had a shrimp burrito and I can see why this was the meal that made the diner “famous”. Everyone else also loved their meals and has really good omelettes and tacos. Also the service was great and all the coffee was Mexican style with cinnamon.......

Waking up in Santa Barbara, what a feeling! We grabbed some breakfast, packed the car, and headed downtown to the one Main Street. I always thought SB was bigger but it comes down to everything being on the one street (State Street). We climbed the courthouse tower to take in the view of the entire city and we checked out the murals inside - not your standard looking courthouse and everything was so old and full of history. Super cool! We drove out of the the downtown area and made our way to Montecito, a suburb town 10 min away...

So we didn’t wake up and be out of the motel and AT the Hearst Castle by 8 as planned. In act, we weren’t out of the motel by 9. We grabbed some pastries and coffee from the check-in desk and pulled in to the castle by closer to 10. We were a little confused as we pulled in because despite them signs, there was no castle. Then we saw it. All the way up in the mountains, a tiny speck of it. What? This was not going to be like other places where you just walk in and look...

Another sunny day! Justin was off to the conference and I got up pretty much around the same time. Today’s plan involved a lot of walking so I wanted to make sure to get everything in. I set my direction the exact opposite way of my final destination because I *needed* a sushi burrito. That’s right, a burrito of sushi. The wrap is nori and rice but the inside is various sushi ingredients and you eat it like a burrito. It was glorious. I got overwhelmed at the place with all the amazing food on the menu so I also...
Day 3: every turn I take, every trail I track, every path I make, every road leads back

Sending Justin off on his first day of the conference, I stayed in bed for a little while. An hour or so in, I receive a text from him. His first day, first hour, and some shmuck behind him spilled hot coffee all down his back and didn't really acknowledge Justin with much of an apology. Grumbling, Justin went off to get cleaned up, found a new shirt (swag!), and on his way back to the keynote, got locked out. Eventually finding his way in, he found his seat was taken so you can imagine the messages I was getting....
