...make fantastic areas to look for interesting wildlife. Best of all, it is not nearly as crowded as most beaches. The tradeoff, though, is the weather: located so close to San Francisco, Half Moon Bay adopts the city’s sharp winds and low temperatures (at least by Californian standards). Santa Cruz may be a better choice for some, where the warm beaches and moderate water temperature are offset by huge crowds...
Also designated as Californian because so many of its highly visible practitioners are on the West Coast, this new cooking is an intellectualized, even esoteric style, characterized by the use of fresh native products and seemingly disparate ethnic ingredients and influences in a single dish.

More serious soir?es will be held in Temple Synagogue located in Miodowa Street, such as "Bridge to Peace," a concert by Dutch singer Shura Lipovsky, American singer-actor Theodore Bikel and Bosnia and Herzegovina's Mostar Sinfonietta on June 27. Szeroka Street's riotous end-of-festival party, with surprise acts playing to an international crowd, starts on July 2 and carries on into the next morning...
