Tripp finished her first annual annual with us today, and now we’re expanding her mission. We’d been staying relatively close to home, wanting to look her over very carefully before setting off to explore North America on some longer adventures. So today, desperately desiring some air time, we took flight for a few minutes to survey this little corner of paradise. Along the way we went to take a new look at the old Mission.
6500 iMadonnari Prep
We wanted to check out preparations for one of our fav annual SB events: iMadonnari Festival of transitory sidewalk chalk art at the mission. We thought artists might have begun, but mostly they’re just marking out squares and getting ready so far. Every year there’s some amazing art, and a few weeks later much of it’s gone, but traces linger into the first few Fall rains, reminding Santa Barbarians of Summer. Shall I post updates as the art emerges?
6503 San Roque Hub
We also enjoyed discovering that the hub in the center of the familiar San Roque neighborhood has hidden homes. Behind the homes facing the circular street are others in the center, with driveways between the outer homes. How quiet it must be in there! Does the neighborhood sometimes have loud parties? Could be quite a community experience if they all know each other, or perhaps a source of tension if they don’t.
