Okay not my pic but this is what Seabright beach looked like for July 4. Fireworks are banned in Santa Cruz (mostly ignored). Given the California fires fireworks were supposed to be "strictly" banned. Police were posted at all the entrances to the beach and searching people.......yeah not so much success on that front. There were hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach and standing around the dunes. People on the beach put together some very clever displays; huge fun. Before going down to the beach I headed off to a friends beach house in Aptos (about 15mins away) - spent a couple of hours with them celebrating the day. Something really nice was driving through the suburbs and seeing the number of flags out. Very colourful and patriotic in a strangely comforting way.Saturday, July 05, 2008
