Isla Vista: The Student Ghetto

After a couple days of prancing around the resort on our best behavior in our poshest clothes, we decided it was time to go back to visit our Santa Barbara roots.
Welcome to the most expensive student ghetto in the world, a crazy little place I like to call, Isla Vista.
If you remember a few posts ago, I mentioned that I went to college in Santa Barbara at UCSB.
Well, Isla Vista (IV) is the 1 square mile party mecca that all of the students claimed as their own, and I am proud to say I was one of them.
Words cannot describe the memories, stories, and marginally illegal times I've had here the past few years.
But if you can image about 15,000 kids between the ages of 18-24 all smacked in the middle of beach party paradise with no supervision, you can probably get a little bit of an idea of what goes down here...
For the sake of my dignity and reputation, I'll leave that to your imagination and just show you a little around town ;)
