I couldn't take another day of the heatwave in L.A. so I packed up a bag and headed to Santa Barbara for a three day work vacation escape. When I left L.A. it was close to 100 degrees and when I got to Santa Barbara it was 79 degrees. Heaven on earth. It was great to see my mom and celebrate her birthday and I really enjoyed a couple of visits with my dear friend Lorie where one night we had a gourmet dinner picnic at Shoreline Park, another time we took an electric bike ride. In between visiting I worked in the daytime. Gotta love Zoom I can teach classes from anywhere.
I ate a lot of McConnell's ice cream.
When I walked on the beach it was actually cool. First time in weeks that I wasn't dying from the heat.
We took a twenty mile ride from Lorie's house to Goleta Beach. So much fun.
...until I hit a curb and flew off the bike! Ouch! I wasn't 50 feet away from Lorie's house, almost there but nooooooo, I crashed.
I won't show you the details but take it from me, I'm black and blue all over my body. New bruises are still forming two days later.
But I still had a blast!
