Santa Barbara Guide

Santa Barbara Guide

 



Sam's leaving her wine glass at home to explore the adventurous side of Santa Barbara. She conquers her fear of the ocean by trying the fastest-growing water sport on the planet, hunts for Oprah Winfrey at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch and asks Oprah's personal chef, Pilar Sanchez, to become a short order cook for some very hungry gorillas at the local zoo.
