Tucked between the mountains and the sea and boasting a near-perfect year-round climate, Montecito has become one of, if not the most exclu- sive and attractive communities in the world. Home prices begin at nearly $3 million and go up to $125 million and more. Along with a coterie of movie stars and celebrated authors, some dozen billionaires either call Montecito home or maintain second homes here. There are two distinct commercial areas of Montecito: the upper village and Coast Village Road. In the upper village, a small shopping area between San Ysidro Road and Santa Angela Lane, contains a hardware store, grocery store, post office, gas station, stationery store, bookshop, three banks, a frame & art store, photo shop, two jewelry shops, hair salons & fragrance shops, a brokerage firm, drugstore, coffee shop, deli, real-estate offices, an- tiques, architects, dry cleaners, cheese shop, clothing & houseware boutiques, and three Italian restaurants. The Montecito Village Shopping Center is indeed the hub of this unique community. Source

With a smile, he recalled his mother watching him dress up as Shirley Temple for Halloween and thinking, “Maybe this guy is a theatre kid.” She took him to see The Wizard of Oz, where he stood on a chair through the entire performance so he wouldn’t miss a moment.

Venezuela, located at the northernmost tip of South America, occupies a typically enviable spot in the middle of the tropics. Gaze northward from a beach there and you’re taking in both the Caribbean and the mighty Atlantic. The country also sits atop a tectonic meeting place, a boundary where the Caribbean and South American plates meet in a transform fault system. Also called a strike-slip, this fault separates two argumentative tectonic neighbors.

There are few places where summer feels quite as complete as it does from the deck of a boat at sunset. The day’s heat softens, the Santa Ynez Mountains begin to glow pink, dolphins occasionally ride the bow wake, and the Pacific settles into that familiar golden calm that somehow makes everyone slow down. For decades, the Condor Express has built its reputation on showing visitors and locals alike the extraordinary wildlife that calls the Santa Barbara Channel home.
