8/31 Faculty Field Trip

On last Saturday, August 31st, I went on the Faculty Field Trip to Santa Barbara Historical Museum and Presidio. At 10 o’clock in the morning, my roommate and I went down stair to meet up with Dr. Gallucci at the lobby. There were not many students at the lobby, because many people went home for the three day weekend. Dr.Gallucci led around 15 students, including my roommate and I, to the bus station and took 24x Express to downtown Santa Barbara.



After we arrived at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, we looked at many different paintings of the Adobe. Even though I did not know much about paintings, I enjoyed looking at the jewelries, customs, and items that were preserved until present day. For lunch, Dr.Gallucci took us to a café named Panino. I ordered an Italian combo sandwiches, and I found to be very delicious. Close to the end of the field trip, we went to the Presidio. Dr.Gallucci led us around and told us many of his thoughts on this historic site. It all made more sense after Dr. Gallucci’s explanation, because I did not know much about the history in Santa Barbara. I was glad that I was able to be in an actual adobe after looking at the paintings at the Historical Museum. Visiting the Presidio made me understand the spacial relationship of an adobe to other items better.




After the field trip, I went to look around downtown Santa Barbara with my roommate. We ate some frozen yogurt before we headed back UCSB.
