We spent an extra day in beautiful Santa Barbara, seeing all the street performers, visiting the mission and the Presidio, and checking out the beautiful Dutch touring bikes made by Koga-Miyata and marketed in the US by Commuter Bicycles in Santa Barbara.

But the local snake rescue people were out in force with lots of snakes to show. This brought back memories of when I was a kid and had lots of snakes. I wrapped one around my neck, two around my arms, and put a lizard in each hand, and brought them in to show off to the kind elderly neighbor woman my mom was entertaining. I was not well received.
