I spent a pleasant day in Solvang eating my heart out, and enjoying the view. There was a lot to see, but you can definitely do everything in a day.
I spent the day walking into different museums, admiring the cute Danish buildings, and comparing everything to what I saw on a Huell Howser episode. Let me explain... I first became fascinated with Solvang when I watched a Huell Howser episode many years ago. I actually find his show interesting as he features places in California. What is there not to love? I live in California, and would love to visit all of our hidden gems. I knew I would visit Solvang someday, and my birthday was the perfect opportunity!
The weather was perfect for treats, so I had delicious ice cream, tasty meals, and took tons of pastries and taffy to home. Everyone knows I love food, so you can imagine my delight.
There was even an ostrich farm near by, and I go to get close to feed them. Has anyone ever mentioned how scary ostriches are? They try to peck you when you are close, and will grab the bowl of food right out of your hands. They are so strong, and when they swing their neck at you, you can't help but scream. They were extremely aggressive, and left me a little bit traumatized. There were also emus on the farm, and I grew a bit attached. The emus were much cuter, and they had sweet depositions.
I really did have a relaxing day, and I loved every second of it. I just hope I can go on more adventures in the near future!
