Summer Solstice--SB Style

We saw a fabulous summer solstice parade last weekend. Hula hoopers, feather dancers, aliens, and other extraordinary townfolk gathered downtown for the gathering. It was hot, hot day--but always comfortable in the shade--is that just how desert climates are?

It was fun to see a cultural event like Solstice celebrated in style. It reminded me of Maui and the carefree and fabulous weirdos that are drawn there. It made me feel more a part of life in Santa Barbara as well. I didn't have any idea how unsettling moving is--even if it is an ideal place.

Yes, I can't complain here. I miss my P-town folks, but am realizing how much happier the climate here makes me. Constant rain made me feel stuck and sad. Sun makes me happy. Hooray for the Solstice. Yay, it's summer!

Another lovely float...

Colorful dancers set the mood.


Here comes the sun!
