Dream Trip 2008: July

Great Travel Moment

I am not Michael Smith, I am Louise Moser. The Summer Solstice Festival in Santa Barbara is a fabulously exotic spectacle, with a fantastic parade down State Street. The colorful costumes and floats are extraordinary, and the spirited music, food and people are wonderful! It's great fun for the whole family and it's free for all -- a truly exceptional value in a truly beautiful location. We are seriously tempted to volunteer to make an exhibition of ourselves in the parade next year.
