I love the small town feel to Santa Maria. Staying at Herb’s airbnb 1920’s Craftsman bungalow accentuated that feeling. When I was in elementary school I had friends who lived in classic Craftsman houses and I wanted to live in one ever since. There is a sense of history living in a structure that has […]

Islands – La Jolla

Streetcar Merchants of Fried Chicken, Doughnuts & Coffee – La Jolla
Hot. Burning. Tongue on fire. Face and chest sweating in below 70F weather. I do my best to avoid spicy food but this innocuous looking chicken pot pie did me in. Lucky I had some emergency candy on my desk to save myself. There was a lot to like about this pie. Crust was crunchy […]
