Florence, Italy or Santa Barbara, CA........Most Favorite City Ever!
The architecture, culture, history, mountains, beaches, food, wine and pretty, pretty people...Describe both places. SB is ahead in the polls because I can speak the language. Sometimes, fluently.
Coolest tale I heard about SB Lore:
There is this rainbow colored sculpture in the town. I was told that the native indians that lived in Santa Barbara beleived in a Goddess that helped them. Some of the tribal people got sent out to the island off of the SB coast. In order to join the tribe back together, The Goddess created a rainbow bridge and all of the exiled people were able to walk across the rainbow bridge to reunite with their tribe......That is not the most eloquent rendition but it was a lovely story.
Here are the pictures...
The court house is the most famous landmark. Apparently, in Cousin Vinny this is where they filmed the court scenes. At least that is what I was told. I thought the movie was in Alabama. Those sneaky Hollywood folks are such tricksters.
Unfortunately, when I was there the weather was rainy and overcast. Very unusual, still beautiful.
On my next trip to SB, I will go to Neverland. Then, I will try to get to Oprah's house!
All I can say about SB is that I will see you again - soon and often!!!
