First Post
This is my first post.
So, we’re still settling into California. Check out the pictures on this site to see how our move went and what santa cruz looks like. People have been asking me similar questions about what I like about California and what I miss about Boston. Here’s a list right now. I will add and subtract in the future - N.
What I like about Santa Cruz:
- Lots of Sun
- Campus radio station that plays reggae every morning
- Fresh Produce
- Amazing Farmers markets on almost every day of the week
- Man who walks around downtown wearing a cape and has a cat on his shoulder
- Good Mexican food
- Nice view while I am driving from the UCSC campus
- People with dreadlocks…everywhere.
- House with the 8 foot wood cut out of santa claus in his underwear scratching his stomach on the roof (hand drawn, quite impressive)
- Bright sunny beautiful days
- Wine, lots of good wine
- Palm Trees
- Fog (eerie)
- Support for locally grown organic food
- Surf Contests
- UCSC Organic farm within walking distance from us
- 24 hour fitness
- Students protesting
- Good local artists
- Local fabric shops
- Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had
- Intense bike riding
- VW bugs
What I miss about Boston:
- Friends/Family…obviously
- MBTA
- Union Square
- Miss Tess at Toad on Tuesday nights
- Walking or biking everyday, driving sucks
- Good coffee
- Coffee shops on every corner
- Pocasset/Cape Cod
- Drive through coffee shops
- Lattes
- Eastern Standard Time
- Winter Hill (location, not the gang)
- Public Gardens at night
- Seeing my favorite actress Julie Pham’s latest project
- Christina’s Ice Cream
- Taxi on every corner
- 1369
