Goodbye SF, Hello LA
Yesterday morning I left San Francisco and all of NorCal, catching a ride with one of my fellow LSA Institute participants and her brother in a bright green VW Beetle heading south. Along the way, we stopped by the quiet town of Solvang, wee Denmark in California! I had no idea that such a place existed, but I was happy to have seen it. We also made a stop in Santa Barbara, where I ran into an old friend from high school rather unexpectedly.
I’m in LA now (or, more precisely, in Sherman Oaks), bumming at Jon’s house, eating tacos, watching nerdy tv, and lounging in the pool. I’ll be here until next week (past my birthday), and I’m excited to get back to Providence!
As a Dane, who actually spent some time in Solvang during my year at UCLA, I should say that Solvang resembles a fairy tale by H.C. Andersen much more than it actually resembles Denmark.
Very much like the 60 minutes report on Denmark did during the cartoon crisis about six months ago.
However, Solvang was a very nice place and their pancakes were really good. If only I could get stuff like that here!
