This week a bunch of our friends headed up to Santa Barbara to tour the mission, burial site of Karana, the girl from Island of the Blue Dolphins. I’ve never seen so many children geeked out in a cemetery before. We visited the huerta where Zia worked in the fictional Blue Dolphins sequel, and we saw artifacts belonging to Father Sanchez and Captain Nidever, too. It’s fun to do California state history with friends who are reading the same books that we are!
