Those who don't know about Solvang, it's a little touristy town up a bit inland from Santa Barbara, they capitalize on their Norwegian (?) roots and have a bunch of restaurants and hotels downtown. I didn't go down there this time, and have no idea what the tourist district looks like today (it's been there for years). Mission Santa Ines was easily found on the highway outside of town. This was one of the prettier sites I found, even though the day was gloomy, out to the side of the Mission site was a rolling hill, covered with grape vines... very lovely in the sunlight I'm sure.
