Things to do in Santa Barbara County

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.

离开皮斯莫海滩，去往洛杉矶，第一站经过丹麦村，旦面全部都是丹麦建筑，也有好多丹麦人，村子挺大的，停车场很多，路边也可以临时停车，停车特别方便，有几家面包甜品很好吃，google可以查到。路边公共卫生间也很多，自驾过去很方便，适合拍照，很出片。极力推荐，每个建筑都有特色，门前种的花花草草都很漂亮。

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.
