Solvang...

The Danish village of Solvang is charming - beautiful architecture and friendly people. We were grateful to learn that the Viking Garden Restaurant, a place we'd eaten in before, was dog friendly on their patio. And, what's better than breakfast for lunch??? We both had eggs, Danish sausage, and abelskivers, Danish ball shaped pancakes, served with applesauce, strawberry jam and powdered sugar - delicious. It's a town that caters to shoppers - having the dogs with us was a blessing because it kept us out in the streets, not in the shops! Located just to the east of Solvang is the horse ranch owned by the original "horse whisperer", Monty Roberts. Grapes are growing in the infield of the training racetrack on the property.
