We had a wonderful time staying at Jorian's place in Santa Cruz. The place was cute with enough space and amenities that we were happy to just be hanging out when having breakfast or coming back to the apartment after our other activities in the area. It was neat to see the older homes on this street and it was close to lots of fun activities including restaurants, the local museum and the boardwalk. When we walked down to the area with the shops and restaurants we discovered we happened to be in town for "First Friday" which was great fun--the museum was open with activities, lots of people and things going on, and really fun music with bands playing on the sidewalk.
