Santa Barbara
Some impressions:
- palm trees give a constant feeling of vacation, even when you're not.
- people wearing sweaters with shorts and flip flops underneath, ' ‘cuz it's cold out...'
(in summer they wear the same, minus the sweaters...)
- bookstore cafés with free wi-fi, comfortable armchairs and relaxed, friendly people...
Scene: Border's Bookstore café -
I'm settling into one of those comfortable armchairs after having plugged in my computer, and an elderly man strolls by, stops, and when I look up, very nonchalantly asks me:
'so, do you know why the apple kissed the banana?'
'no,' I say, the corner of my mouth already beginning to turn up in the beginning of an anticipated smile, 'why did he?'
'because he thought she had a peel,' the man says, eyes sparkling with delight and quite pleased with himself, nodding to me before strolling casually on...
So Southern California. Stopping to tell a random stranger in a bookstore café a random joke, just because.
