Off to R's house near the mission for sweets and a tour through the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden. R has the natural history of the region in his blood and one is given deep details on these walks. Over to Parma park for another trek surrounded by distant homes with often striking styles and qualities not to mention prices. Lunch of left over pasta y fagioli under the Tipu tree.
Later met R at Harry's bar in the little shopping center anchored by Gelson's. Rene, our waitress, had been there a long, long time and R was one of her favorites. The onion rings were great and the drinks muscular.
