Not So Speechless Sunday: Santa Barbara Turtles At the Arcada...

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

 

It has been awhile since we have to the Arcada Courtyard in Santa Barbara.  This is a small shopping square with restaurants. The Arcada was built in the1920's in the Spanish Mission Revival style.  

Since our favorite breakfast place in the mountains was  unreachable due to road closures and clean up from the recent fire, we had breakfast at Jeanine's restaurant in the Arcada.  On of the highlights of the Arcada is a large fountain with bronze turtles as well as live ones.   Those little red fish are baby Kois.

"The Turtle's teachings are so beautiful. So very special. It teaches us that everything you are, everything you need and everything you bring to the world is inside you, not external, and you carry it with you, and are not limited to a place, space or time. "

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel,

Hopefully, the mountain roads will be open soon so you can enjoy your favorite breakfast spot.  

My eyes focused on the large turtle and I didn't see the two smaller live turtles until I went for a second look!  Great quote!

Mimi Foster We really enjoyed being there.  It is where the locals hang out for the most part, as it is tucked away from the main drag.  A

Michael Jacobs It is on the upper part of State Street not far from the Granada. It is easy to miss, unless someone points it out.  It also has lots of Seward Johnson statues that add addition charm to the place.  A

Barbara Todaro You would love that we think that it has been cold 45 degree...however if we were on a ski trip we would have the 45 degree, we would be upset as the snow would be melting..We all are fickle creatures!  A

It is fun to watch koi swimming and frolicking, and the turtles have a different energy, it is a good blend.  Happy Sunday!  A

Ron and Alexandra- that quote is absolutely perfect for the turtles.  Larry was a bit like that when he went on his 12 day kayak expedition. Everything he needed and used was in that kayak.

Lisa Weiler ,

Turtles are amazing regardless of where they live.  I am very fond of the sea turtles in Hawaii, the honu as they call them.  Welcome to Active Rain.  A
