Santa Cruz has a cult following around the Bay Area. Everyone has a bumper sticker of The Mystery Spot. Well, it seems that way. I finally got to visit. It definitely reaffirmed that Santa Cruz has a strange energy to it, not in the sense the attraction advocated about, but in the attitude that people living here share about it.

Since then, I’ve only been back once. It is kooky, laid-back, and I understand why so many people move there for a breath of fresh air.
