山河无恙美A two-hour weekend escape from Los Angeles: Santa Barbara + Ojai 🌴Day 1 Santa Barbara: Depart at 10 am and arrive at the destination around noon. Before entering the city, have lunch at Stella Mare French Restaurant by the lake. The interior decoration of this restaurant is like a house in the French countryside, which is very simple and lovely. Outside the restaurant is a glass house, and the sunlight scatters through the glass, making the food look more delicious. After checking into the hotel in the afternoon, stroll along State St, the main street in the city. You will encounter some lovely Spanish buildings from time to time, which are very beautiful (the cover picture is an unexpected private apartment). In the evening, go to the famous Shellfish Company on the beach for dinner. There are fresh red sea urchins here. I recommend their cream clam soup (it is said that the gentleman who grew up in Myanmar and India also praised it), as well as abalone rice and steamed clams. The sea breeze is relatively strong at night, so remember to dress warmly! 🌴Day 2: Ojai: The next morning, go to Ojai's certified farmers' market, which is held every Sunday morning and ends at 1 pm. There are a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables here, and many stalls have loquats, which makes people miss it very much. After shopping, you can stroll around the nearby streets, where there are many antique shops, coffee shops and bookstores. Generally speaking, it takes about two hours to finish the tour. Ojai is a quiet town hidden in the mountains. The architectural style is also Spanish, so it gives people a feeling of being in a European town. At noon, you can go to Ojai Rotie, a Lebanese-style restaurant. The outdoor dining environment is very beautiful, as if you are having a picnic. Don't forget that you will pass by the Design Within Reach discount store on the way back to Los Angeles from Ojai. Students who are interested in furniture must not miss it!
