Things to do in Santa Barbara

Driving along California's Highway 1, my hands were aching from gripping the wheel for so long. The coastal section was winding and twisting, with waves crashing white against the cliffs below. I stopped by the roadside to watch the seals; those lazy guys just rolled on their backs, not moving an inch. The Big Sur Bridge was quite photogenic, but I was too busy watching the road to cross it. We kept stopping and starting, turning into every viewpoint we saw to enjoy the breeze. Just as the gas tank was almost empty, we arrived in town; a burger and a Coke were the perfect comfort food.

Santa Barbara is located in California, USA, not far from Los Angeles. Due to historical reasons, the buildings here are mainly Spanish and Mexican, and the buildings are very beautiful. Many wealthy people live here. In the residential area, there are green grass and red flowers in front of and behind the houses. It is a beautiful garden city. The climate here is mild, the air is fresh, the beach is soft, the sea water is clear, the trees are forested, and the flowers are fragrant. It is known as the "Paradise on the Pacific Coast."

The beach area of ​​Santa Barbara is very beautiful and the lake is very calm. However, you cannot park for free here. Basically, there are parking lots next to the port, and there are many empty spaces. The parking fee is not expensive.

Kutna Hora BONE CHURCH Kutna Hora is the world's most famous bone church, which contains no less than 40,000 human bones, from the Black Death patients in the 14th century and the people who died in the "Hussite War" in the early 15th century. When the town of Kutna was repairing the church, bones were dug up everywhere. There was no place to put the piled-up bones. It was not until 1870 that the artist Rint thought of using them to decorate the church. After thoroughly disinfecting the bones, he arranged them into various patterns such as chandeliers, crosses, door lintels, family emblems, etc. ~ So this bone church was born! The courtyard outside the church is a cemetery. It is said that an abbot brought back a handful of soil from Jerusalem on a pilgrimage and scattered it in the church yard. Since then, famous families have been buried here as an honor. The small courtyard is very expensive, and many cemeteries are where a family is buried together. ​Walking into the scene does not give people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, but rather a very shocking and fearful feeling of death.

The sea is vast and blue, and the view from the pier is as far as the sky. Seagulls fly by from time to time, spreading their wings and chirping. The beach has big waves, attracting many surfing enthusiasts.
