Santa Cruz

---

Rained on arrival and pretty much remained rainy throughout our stay in Santa Cruz.

On the last day we finally got to explore and saw that Santa Cruz seems to be a relaxed and friendly town of surfers and strollers in their 30s and 40s. We were told this was the "Silicon Valley money" so house prices were high. Lots of dogs being walked along the promenades along the coast after two days of rain.

best part was the redwood forest just north of town
