The first time we went to Santa Cruz, we did a whole lot of nothing. 
We were so tired of all of our previous adventures including our overnight bus ride from San Diego that made us arrive in Santa Cruz at 7am, that we were very glad to be able to really relax. We stayed at a friend’s place, and we had a great time! His house was just five minutes from the beach and we got to spend time with him when he was done with work. It felt somewhat weird to go back to speaking French with someone else (we speak English/French/Italian together) and it felt good to be with a friend! To be honest we caught up with a LOT of shows on Netflix and mostly took walks around to get the vibe of the place.
So this post will be a Santa Cruz Photo Diary of the few days of our first time there. We’ll write a more developed article about our second time there because we did a lot more things! So stay put, and in the meantime enjoy the beach life and remember that I’m writing this in Belfast and we’re also drooling on the pictures, wanting to go back!

La première fois que nous sommes allés à Santa Cruz, on a fait presque rien du tout.
Nous étions vraiment crevés de toutes nos aventures américaines, trajet de bus de nuit depuis San Diego avec arrivée à 7h du mat’ inclus. Du coup nous étions vraiment ravis de pouvoir vraiment nous relaxer. Nous avons été hébergés par un ami et on a passé un séjour super sympa ! Sa maison se trouve à 5 minutes à peine de la mer et on a pu passer du temps avec lui après le boulot. Le rêve ! Ca nous a fait un peu bizarre de parler à nouveau français avec quelqu’un d’autre (on parle anglais/français/italien entre nous) et ça m’a fait du bien d’être avec un ami que je connaissais déjà !
Pour être honnête, nous avons rattrapé notre retard sur BEAUCOUP de séries sur Netflix pendant notre séjour et on a surtout fait des balades pour se rendre un peu compte de l’ambiance de cette ville. 
Donc cet article est un journal photo des quelques jours que nous avons passés à Santa Cruz la première fois que nous y étions. On écrire un article un peu plus développé à propos de notre second séjour comme nous nous sommes un peu plus bougés! Donc restez dans le coin, et en attendant profitez de la plage et rappelez-vous que j’écris ça depuis Belfast et qu’on bave sur les photos en rêvant d’y retourner!

La prima volta che siamo andati a Santa Cruz, abbiamo praticamente solo oziato.
Eravamo così distrutti dal viaggio che abbiamo deciso di rilassarci e basta.Ospiti di un amico (francese), la casa si trovava 5 minuti dalla spiaggia. Abbiamo passato il tempo guardando Netflix, e facendo lunghe passeggiate.
Quindi questo articolo sarà solo un album fotografico, ne seguirà uno più dettagliato, per ora vogliamo solo ricordare con le immagini il nostro tempo passato li.

Santa Cruz is a very cool town. Did you see any banana slugs?

Would love to go to Santa Cruz and watch the surfers. Looks like a nice, chill time. Sometimes it’s just nice to hang out with friends!

Yes, it’s really chill and people go to watch surfers a lot. It’s in Santa Cruz spirit 🙂

There isn’t a TON of things to do but it’s a nice and laid-back city 🙂

Santa Cruz is a great place to relax and just chill out doing nothing – and sometimes you need these vacations after having taken a much more active one!

Santa Cruz is so nice and the house is just perfect. I live by the ocean myself so I would appreciate the view of it. Besides, there’s just more fun surfing there as well! @ knycx.journeying
