Capitola




Just a few more pictures of the beach here in Capitola.

The Mystery Spot






This place is in Santa Cruz. It's not really just an optical illusion, it's actually a place where compasses don't work and the normal rules of gravity do not apply. No one really knows why but it's really cool.

Update

Since we finally got the California pics on here, I guess I should tell where we're off to next. Our next assignment is in Denver, Colorado. It will be at a hospital in the downtown area and we should be living downtown as well. I can't wait! I love this California assignment, but it is so rural. I miss my big city! Not to mention that Denver is only 70 miles from the ski slopes. Can't wait!

Roaring Camp Railroad

While my family was here, we took a ride on a steam train through the Redwood trees near Capitola in Scott's Valley.


Did you know that these trees will continue to grow even if they fall over at an angle? As long as like 25% of their roots are still in the ground, that will grow, even sideways.

We have this really nice housing here in Capitola. It's in the touristy part of town called "The Village." We've been having lots of fun walking around town and checking out the local shops and restaurants. Here are some pictures of our apartment.
