Santa Barbra

I took a trip out to visit one of my very best friends, Alexandra Gibbs. She's been my friend since 8Th grade and she recently moved to Santa Barbra. I was so excited to see her, but getting to Santa Barbra wasn't easy, and took about 8 hours...I didn't drive! My flight to Burbank was delayed 10 minuets so I missed my already scheduled train to SB by about 5 minuets. This led to me waiting 3 hours for the next train... BY MYSELF! But let me tell ya, the wait was so worth it. My first time on a train was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. When I finally made it to Sb the Gibbs' family had so much fun in store for me! We went to the beach, shopped down state street, went out to eat at fun restaurants. It also happened to be "fiesta" week (A huge holiday celebrated all weekend there). One of the traditions is to smash a confetti egg on some one's head? And all along state street they had swap meets of Mexican Good's, & foods, you name it. It was all so fun, Thanks so much Alexandra for letting me come out!!













Alexandra is an amazing Photographer, I was her model for a class assignment for Brooke's Institute where she is attending!

    Rissa you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for your post. And your pictures are so gorgeous. I'm jealous you got to go to Santa Barbara. I've never been there before and that was where I was born!! As for Africa, I'd love to help you out..I'll look up and talk to some friends because I know there are trips for teaching English..but I went to Deaf Schools and taught in Sign because I know ASL.... But I'll chat with some people and let you know!
