On Sunday Beverly and I travelled up the coast to Santa Barbara. We met with friends for lunch at Brothy Brothers. After waiting nearly 90 minutes to get seated I ordered shark (first time) and was disappointed as it was a little dry and rough. Beverly’s swordfish was good though.

After eating we digested our food by visiting the war memorial by the pier and then walking along the boardwalk to see the art show. Beverly remarked that a lot of the paintings looked like the kind of thing that I could do. There were a few interested moments – like the home-made kaleidoscopes.

Since the party was made up of two couples – after the boardwalk us men were resigned to watching our women shop for dresses at the local fashion square. We steered them into a few music stores and antique stores before heading back to our hotel and changing for the night’s activities.

Not sure if I was trying to be Gandalf or Joseph (and his dreamcoat).

We ate a late dinner at a brewery before heading to Sandbar nightclub.
