Santa Monica, California And Califa

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley ..Well I didn't really -I just think that is such a famous first line. My dream was less memorable than the Daphne du Maurier classic. Last night I dreamt I went to California, well to be exact The Santa Monica Beach Hotel. I came across their website last night when I was surfing.

I was having a mindless moment because I was actually trying to find out about Queen Califa but initially I could only find out info about Santa Monica Beach accommodations. DUH! We all have those moment I suppose. Looking at the website it made me feel a little bit wishful to visit...Ah if only I wasn't so strapped for cash.

I did eventually find a little about the myth of Califa who it is said California is named after. She was apparently a beautiful majestic black Amazonian type queen that lived on an island (which was supposed to be California). Her tribe was supposed to be a fierce tribe of warrior women. Their only metal gold. I love reading about myths and legends but this is all i could find out about Califa
