Other than the famous Courthouse, there were some other things you can do or see in Santa Barbara.
除了法院，聖塔芭芭拉還有一些地方可以晃晃。

What we called Sea Elephant is a seal, belonging to the same Pinnipeds relatives with Sea Lion and other kinds of seals.

We boarded the 9 am boat for whale watching (there would be one at noon and one at 3 pm on Sunday – although every company has different schedules for weekday and weekend)

The CA state flower is California poppy, which is also called Eschscholzia californica. Antelope Valley Californian Poppy Reserve is only an hour and a half away, so I really wanted to check it out during its peak season: March-May.

聽說加州州花是 poppy ，知道它的保留區距我住的地方只要一個半小時，便想趁著花季時 (March – May)去瞧瞧。

Did you know that in 1500s, people thought the current state of California was an island?

您知道在西元1500年代時，人們以為現在的加州是一個獨立的島嶼嗎？

The proof is on the mural in the Law Library inside the Santa Barbara Courthouse.

有圖為証： 在聖塔芭芭拉法院內的法律圖書館中，有一面牆壁上畫有當時的地圖。
