After 8 great days on the road Ramona and I are taking a well deserved break and what better place to do it that a small coastal town Capinteria, about 10 miles from Santa Barbara, with my special friends that I met in Mexico years ago.
The town is lovely, friendly, warm and sunny (sorry to my Nanaimo readers!!). The photos below were taken this afternoon on a short walk. I have had a fabulous week and what a great start to my journey and now enjoying a few days of seeing old friends again and taking in small day trips in the surrounding area.

Had my first mis-hap with Ramona yesterday leaving a parking lot, I drive very cautiously and when I came down the small ramp to the street I heard a bang but thought it was something moved around in one of the cupboards. I went about a mile up the road and pulled off at a view point to have lunch. I have made it a habit that when ever I stop or before I start I walk around Ramona and check her out. Sure enough at the back I see the straps that hold the pvc pipe with my hose inside, I saw the straps but I did not see the pipe. So the banging that I heard was the pipe breaking away. I high tailed back to town and there at the side of the road someone had placed my pipe, with hose still inside. I put the pipe inside and drove to the nearest hardware store and bought more big straps and in the parking lot re-attached the pipe and problem solved without too much heart ache.

Have a great day and enjoy where ever you are..
