We arrived in Santa Cruz, on the north end of the Monteray Bay in late afternoon. We wondered around a bit, shopped a bit, and took in the very California come “West Coast” feel of the place. Downtown Santa Cruz is a mixture of buildings of differing styles and ages, some ugly and utilitarian and some, like the Palomar Inn on the Pacific Avenue, a mix of quirky and grandiose designs.
One the whole this has been a very pleasant day.
