Mission Santa Barbara was founded in 1786 and is known as "The Queen of Mission for its graceful beauty." It was the 10th of 21 Franciscan missions built in California and also houses a small museum. University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) is a popular undergraduate and graduate destination for American as well as international students. The college town cliché definitely applies to the areas surrounding the university. This city is also known for its water plant because it was among the first to process ocean salt water, using modern technology called desalination, for its fresh water supply.

I was also introduced to 'horchata', a drink composed of rice milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and ice and it was delicious.
Then when I got back my friend at the Del Playa reside...

I was now in my mum's home town, visiting friends and expolring the sights for the first time on my own.The weather was perfect and my small beachside house provided amazing views for me to wake up to each morning.I took the shuttle along the waterfron each day into the city center, a great way to get around for 25 cents!Cruising down state street, a favourite of mine, taking in the culture of the area and its various dynamics..... The stores varied from small cheap thrills to expensive bouti...
