We went down to the wharf and walked along the seashore.
I had a recommendation to check out a wine tasting room on the wharf, so we relaxed and had a glass of wine.
What a great view!
The pelicans and seagulls got a bit too close for comfort. They would swoop down right over your head and land near you. A few times I ducked because I thought they were dive bombing me!
We asked a couple sitting near us to take our picture. The wife said she was about to offer because we looked so relaxed watching the water.
We posed for this one, but this is how we were sitting before we gave her our camera. :)
This boat went past the wharf and it was being trailed by all of these birds. We thought it may have been a fishing excursion or that they were throwing fish to the birds.
We checked out the Santa Barbara Mission.
Beautiful architecture and grounds. We didn't pay the entry fee to go inside because they were closing in less than an hour.
I loved this fountain with the floating lilies and all of the plants in the center.
The view from along the road on the way to the mission.
We did some research to find a good sushi restaurant for dinner. Yelp lead us to this fabulous restaurant. It was tiny so we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was well worth it. The sushi was so fresh and the rolls were unique and unlike anything we've had.
I don't remember the names of all of the rolls, but I took pictures of each of them because they were beautifully presented.
The next two pictures were press box sushi. You'll notice there is no seaweed wrapper on the roll. They put all of the ingredients for the roll into a wooden box and press it together. I think this roll was my favorite.
This was the super protein roll - there were several kinds of fish on the top and a tasty seaweed salad in the middle. YUM!
I took this one for Scott - he likes palm trees and I thought it looked pretty all lit up at night.
A great day sightseeing!
