A Visit to my Husband's alma mater-UC Santa Barbara - A Trip Down Memory lane

On this weekend,we went to my husband's alma mater-University of California Santa Barbara.


The view of the lagoon from the university center

A University situated on the beautiful coastline of the pacific ocean.The beautiful landscape,the buildings rising from the bedside of the lagoon,the lively town....everything was a feast.Even the trip to the university was so beautiful that we were travelling along the pacific coastline on one side and the dashing californian mountains on the other.


The Pacific coastline


The central tower and its reflection in the lagoon

The weather was also very pleasant.We-(me,my husband and his parents) had a great time there.With the M.S.Subbulakshmi's great annamacharya renditions on the background,we enjoyed a drive which pleased all our senses.
One trivia I learned about UCSB was it has bicycle lanes paved all over campus and one of the highest density of bicycles in the country.The bicycle racks were each different from the others.
A trip down his memory lane,my man was all about his college days....

Another view of the lagoon

An utterly enjoyable experience full of fun during which we,all of us,even made up a poem....
Here it is :)

santa barbara veeduhal
malai mael koduhal
oorvalam pola kaaru
therke pohuthu paaru
uyare malaimuhadu paaru
manasil inba aaru
inge kadalalai mothum
kaatralai meniyai thazhuvum
ithu iyarkaiyin aanantha kolam
athuthan ennavar kalloori kaalam
