I enjoyed your trip through the Santa Ynez Valley but I must take
exception to your description of Solvang as a "kitschy Dutch-American
community" My grandmother (120% Danish) is rolling in her grave! That
is a kitschy Danish-American community. All those flags with the funny
crosses on them are Scandanavian. That said, some of the best potato
salad and butter cookies live there too...
