The last few days in Santa Cruz have been, what I believe, very much like what Santa Cruz is to most people who are not in PhD programs: really fun, carefree, beautiful and relaxing.
I’ve been to the beach:
Made delicious random dinners from food left in my fridge:
DIY Vegan (and GF) Tostadas with 365 Organic Refried Pinto Beans with Roasted Chile & Lime – Delish.
Vegan (burnt) Grilled Cheese on brown rice bread with tomato soup with a side salad.
And I also got to eat lunch with a blogger/Twitter friend and his family at Los Pinos!
I had the Super Veggie Burrito without the Flour Tortilla with corn tortillas on the side (a way to make a dish GF!)
(I was playing with my new camera – look at the different a setting can make!)
It was great to actually meet you, Marlon! Hope you and your family enjoy the day in Santa Cruz and have a great rest of your vacation!
Happy Monday! How as your weekend?!
And now, I’m off on my adventure – a whirlwind tour of the Midwest!



looks like you went to the Boardwalk? love that place
It was great to meet you, too! Thanks for taking time out to meet me and my family! Have a great trip!
