Santa Barbara

Shopped. Hiked. Ate.

and stopped a drunk driver.

Such a day.

Went to Paseo Nuevo in SB to buy shoes so we could hike.

Hiked up Cold Springs to a view looking down on Santa Barbara (and the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier in the harbor).

Went to dinner at Trattorio Vittoria where we laughed and ate really well.

Then when it was all just about over, I watched a really drunk guy stumble out the door, get into a Volvo right outside the front window of the restaurant. and proceed to hit both the car in front of and behind him as he attempted to exit his parallel parking spot. As it was clear that he was going to be quite the danger on the road, several members of our party, along with the son of the restaurant owner and the owner, after much cajoling and threatening, prevailed upon the drunken individual to leave his car and take a cab home.

Jeffrey loves it when he gets his good deed for the year taken care of in January . . .
