Mystery Spot

Ana, Omar, and I went recently went to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz. Omar had never been (and this trip was also made for Andrew and Steve because they have never been there either but ended up not making the trip). I think this place is a cool place to go to and I forgot how fun it was. The tour guide was great and we all got to make fools of ourselves in front of each other. After the Mystery Spot, we ate at my favorite Santa Cruz pizza place, the Upper Crust. Their pizza is so good! After that we hopped onto one and drove to Davenport. Its an awesome beach with great tide pools. We got to explore the tide pools but only found the usual animals. Last time I was there I found a 20 pointed sea star and a sea slug. Its a really fun place and I discovered that there are small caves there too!

"I love the ocean." See the waves behind Omar? They ended up crashing into the rocks we were standing on and if Omar hadnt moved, he would have been soaking wet. We all moved out of the way because we saw these rumbling waves crashing right towards us.












Feet!

The walls of the cave. I was fascinated by the colors that have been created by the minerals passing over the rock. This is all natural light. I didnt use flash (which can be the devil), there was a lot of light bouncing into the cave which gave me these nice abstract photos
