Santa Cruz - go Slugs!

Santa Cruz is my heart home. I loved going to college in the middle of the woods overlooking the ocean. Prasenjit had never been so we spent a few days there last week enjoying the weather and spontaneously hanging out with my cousin, who I hadn't seen in 15 years!

Ice cream sandwiches from Day's Market on Seabright Ave.
I remember buying these as a special treat. If we had known they now cost $3.88 each, we may have passed!


I was glad to see UCSC is still a hotbed of activism!

The Kresge bridge


Fresh figs from my cousin Eric's garden


Me and Eric and Avery


We went tide pooling at Natural Bridges state beach.


And finally, Matthew, the pot-bellied pig (Avery and Matthew are pets of Eric's friend Renee). We fed Matthew grapes and carrots, which was a little scary but fun.

What a lovely vacation this looks like! Makes me miss northern California. Did you get to visit any old college friends or have they mostly moved on?
