Travel

On my recent trip to Santa Barbara we went to a great mexican restaurant called Carlitos Cafe and Cantina on State Street. I have been a few times before and the food is amazing! It’s truly a great place to eat and it’s always crowded. Usually there’s a wait to get in, but this evening we got seated right away. First I ordered their garden salad with the cilantro dressing. Then I had the red wine sangria with real fruit. And finally, I got chicken enchiladas verde with rice and black beans and they were off the charts good! Although I only ate half of it, as I’m on a diet program, but seriously this is one of the best places I have eaten at. The atmosphere was festive along with the live Latin jazz musicians it made for a beautiful evening. Checkout the video and see for yourself!

My trip to Yosemite!

I recently went on a trip to Yosemite National Park. It was one of the best trips I have taken and I didn’t want to come back. It was wonderful to see such beauty in the mountains, valleys, and hills for as far as the eye could see. It brought me such peace. I saw Half Dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, and so much more( See above picture). We went hiking and bike riding around Yosemite Village and ate lunch at the Ahwanne Hotel. Plus we saw some giant sequoia trees ( Also pictured). There was one called the Grizzly Giant and one named the California Tunnel Tree. I was in awe and couldn’t believe that I was seeing something so amazing. It was indeed a spiritual experience.
