Santa Barbara was like home, like returning to light after winters of darkness.

This is more literal than it seems. The golden light of Southern California; the way colors are more vibrant.

Reminded of Redlands: one-story Victorians with porches, like West Olive Street.

Reminded of San Diego: warm, t-shirts and skirts eating Mexican on colorful patios.

Reminded of Pacifica: sea, hills. But the Santa Barbara sea is blue, while the Pacifica sea is gray; and the Santa Barbara hills are sharp and dramatic.
