First Post

Posted in Santa Cruz, Boston by N

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:

  1. Lots of Sun
  2. Campus radio station that plays reggae every morning
  3. Fresh Produce
  4. Amazing Farmers markets on almost every day of the week
  5. Man who walks around downtown wearing a cape and has a cat on his shoulder
  6. Good Mexican food
  7. Nice view while I am driving from the UCSC campus
  8. People with dreadlocks…everywhere.
  9. House with the 8 foot wood cut out of santa claus in his underwear scratching his stomach on the roof (hand drawn, quite impressive)
  10. Bright sunny beautiful days
  11. Wine, lots of good wine
  12. Palm Trees
