Danish town in California
We had a late start, and by the time we pulled into town it was already dark. We quickly checked in at the Royal Scandinavia Inn and headed out to explore and find a place for dinner. The hotel is close to the town center and the town center isn't that big, so we just walked around. We immediately fell in love with the town. All buildings are Danish style, and several have windmills (probably not working) attached to them. There's just enough people walking on the streets, not too many so it feels crowded, and no
When we were walking down the street after dinner, bells in a nearby church started to ring. I think they were playing a song but I can't remember which one.
Walking down the streets of Solvang we noticed something that you don't see very often in other U.S. cities: public toliets. We soon come to the conclusion that they are a convenience facility for the numerious liquor and wine stores around. To fit in the spirit we went to a liquor store and got some wine, thus started the signature activity of this trip :).
Back at the hotel we found that it has a heated pool! It was such a treat.

You have an excellent eye for photos. Maybe from years of practice? I've been curious about the San Diego area for quite some time, so this really did help me. Thanks.

Good luck with La Jolla - it is in the top five as far as real estate prices. I am really disappointed by you Coronado comment. My family has has a summer house there for 20 years and it is actually a very special place with a wonderful history. Did you take a gander at a guide book? The Hotel Del Coronado alone would take this to the special category. The Coronado beach is one of the most beautiful and swim/surf friendly in California. It is sad that people may read your journal and pass by such a wonderful place. I agree with you about La Jolla, as it is where I live but I have to stick up for Coronado.
