Meet Up in Santa Barbara

My daughter Heather and her husband Ryan are on vacation in Avila Beach  at a "time share" and we agreed to meet in Santa Barbara about an equal distance from where they are staying and where we live. So we met them at the harbor and ate lunch took pictures and then drove to the shopping district and had '"turkish coffee" which tasted appalling but gave us a lot of energy.

 My step son and wife head off for an adventure. They will be meeting at least one of my family in England and possibly staying for a night or more. And also meeting up with Dasha's family in Kazacstan. Dasha is from Russia but can not go there, so her family is crossing the border to meet Jonathan for the first time.
