Santa Barbara, California and meeting up with old friends

The courthouse in Santa Barbara.  We were unfortunately too late in the day to go up in the tower of the courthouse - a beautiful fully functioning building in the heart of this charming town.



Our friend Karina from way way back when our children were small in Canberra.  Karina went to live in the US many years ago with her husband Jacob and their two children.  They are no longer together but we caught up with both of them.
Alisdair is Karina's small Yorkie, one of the smallest and most charming dogs of my acquintaince.  Alisdair is a tiny fellow who packs a punch.


He is an excellent hiker.  We went on a 2 mile hike up a steep cliff and Alisdair was there the whole way.  What a dog!
A small reservoir in the distance the name of which has not been recorded.

A cave with some Chumash native Indian paintings - some 300 years old and very well preserved.



We also caught up with Jacob at Fresco, a charming Santa Barbara eatery.
