Florida Culture for the Week of October 10 by Josh Garrick

Fiesta Santa Barbara, also know as Old Spanish Trail Days, is one of the largest equestrian parade per capita in the country. Held each year in August, the parade begins at the beach and progresses up State St. in the historic center of old Santa Barbara.

Whether you're spending the week at a beach destination with your family, driving across country with friends, or traveling for business, we rent cars for various reasons to help make our driving more convenient.  Here are things to remember to help make your car rental experience as smooth as can be. 

Once in a while, we find a company that we just, well, love. Just a second - you'll see. Our latest love? Grand Trunk. Admittedly, I am not an adventure traveler (something about my wheelchair scooter, you know). But I DO love to be outside, more than anything, exploring this amazing world we live in. And, I appreciate their well-made, well-designed, creative travel goods, and plan on incorporating these into our lives.

It’s easy to have big dreams about studying abroad when you’re still in high school, looking at the globe in your classroom and dreaming of the brand new world beyond your hometown.

Here it is!

In our day-to-day life we often pass judgments on other people without even noticing that we do.  We judge and we compare ourselves to others.  We compare achievements; we compare appearance; we compare education and intellect; we even compare social behavior and social acceptance.  Remember Susan Boyle? 

We're from Holland, the "wooden shoe country" (that nobody uses these days).
