Life in the Small Town of Solvang

Solvang isn't my name, it's where I live :)

Follow California's central coast just 35 minutes from Santa Barbara and you'll find this little Danish town of windmills, wineries and pastry. With a population in the entire Santa Ynez Valley of about twenty thousand, this is a place where you run into people you know everywhere you go.

Here are a few of my ramblings on life in this small town.
