Although the German Rotaractors rolled in and out of Santa Barbara in their Chevy suburban all too quickly, we enjoyed their visit while they were here!
Rita, in the tank top in the photo above, was a phenomenal hostess. She took them on the Landshark, walked them to the mission (yes walked), had an ice cream cone at Ben & Jerry’s with them and shared her apartment with three of our five guests!
In the evening, 10 Americans and 5 Germans hit the town. After a very happy hour (or two) at Sandbar, we enjoyed dinner at Los Arroyos. Then the group went to Elsie’s to keep the conversation going.
Whether from the Black Forest, Munich or Berlin, they all had many stories to tell and great senses of humor. You are all welcome back anytime!
