This morning, I said goodbye to San Simeon by the sea and headed south on Highway 1. My destination was the faux Dutch village of Solvang, CA in the San Ynez Valley. I followed Highway 1 to Lompac where I switched to the East 264 Highway.
It was interesting to note that on the drive from San Simeon, I saw cattle and zebras, alpacas, emus and ostriches. And then, just like that, I arrived in Solvang.
The town is very pretty with its faux Dutch storefronts, decorate windmills and tall stone towers. The downtown area is easily walkable and I spent most of the afternoon drfiting from one store to the next. Public parking is abundant and there are lots of clean restrooms.
It was a warm day, with highs in the upper 70s, so as I wandered around Solvang admiring the buildings and browsing the stores, I grabbed a mango sorbet from an ice cream place.
Now, I'm back at my hotel, considering where I want to go tomorrow.
I'm told there's a Chumash Casino three miles down the road.
So I guess the question is: do I feel lucky?
Yes.
Yes, I do! - MEL
