Birthday Brekkie


I famously began eating French Toast for breakfast in Solvang (at The Landsby's Mad + Vin to be precise) and the practice seems to continue. Similarly, Craft House's practice of presenting birthday boys and girls with complimentary beignets also seems to continue.

evening charm


Birthday Eve: the evening hours in Solvang are not without a certain charm...

Copenhagen House

 

This building called the Copenhagen House has a history of varied uses. It was originally a bank when it was built in 1913; today it is the unlikely hybrid of a shopping emporium and museum about Vikings. The statues outside represent the city founders.

Kanok Thai, part 2

Part of the joy of discovering Kanok Thai Cuisine was realizing that we must have walked by it three or four times without knowing it, since it's tucked away in the upstairs of this rather nondescript building. Definitely a hidden gem. The downstairs has a bar - seemingly unused - and what looks like a women's clothing shop selling everything for 39.99.
