After Natural Bridges I went to Long Marine Laboratory. I'd never been there before and it's a pretty cool place.

It must be hard to live in big sister Monterey Bay Aquarium's shadow though.

They do have some amazing displays.

Afterwards, I went to Downtown Santa Cruz (DSC).

Best. Bookstore. Ever.
DSC is Mecca for shoe lovers.

Sockshop and Shoe Company should be considered a holy place.
DSC also has some great art spots.

Pretty cool, huh?
After DSC I walked over to Neary Lagoon.

Lagoon = Awesome

So, I had a busy day and didn't even see everything Santa Cruz has to offer. But I'll be back!
