Day 6 - Viva la Fiesta

It turns out that we came to Santa Barbara at the right time. August 2-6 is the 'Old Spanish Days Fiesta', which includes lots of entertainment and parades. This morning it was the children's parade, and we had lots of fun watching it. It seemed like a really community-spirited event, with groups in the parade from lots of local schools, clubs and other community groups.

For the rest of the day we have been enjoying taking in the sights and sounds of Santa Barbara - mostly based around State Street or down by the sea front an pier. We had lunch at Joe's, which was considerably busier and louder than last time we were there, and dinner at a restaurant on the pier just after sunset, watching the amphibious party boat go out, and thankfully come back in again.

State Street is a long road, so depending on whether you believe the fitbit or the phone, either 22k or 35k steps today.
