Schwartz Family's SF-CA Bike Trip

No freeway cycling this time - thank goodness. The ride between El
Capitan and Carpentaria involved many flavors. We've seen valley,
beaches, airport, homes, schools, city walk, parks, and a dreadful mini
hill. The variety distracted us into wishing that we could explore
further.

At near mid day, we stopped and looked around at old downtown of Santa
Barbara. The state street is filled with outdoor stores as if we were
walking in a mall. The buildings were styled as an old Spainish Mission
design which brought an unique touch to the character of the town. The
street was full of life - people walking around with pets, food, or
shopping bags.

As we approached Carpenteria, we rode through an upscale neighborhood.
The type of area where you would find day spa/massage on every corner.
We saw several fields for horse polo! The field was large and well
maintained.

The first thing we did when arriving the beach camp was... swimming for
the first time since our bike trip! Dalina enjoyed the chilly water and
salty shells. She met with few other babies and played with them. The
water was refreshing for us, especially after a long hot cycling.

One more day to go...
