We drove up the San Marco Pass to Lake Cachuma, where we took the Sweetwater Trail. This was a very gentle hike along the lake's edge, about 5 miles roundtrip. It just felt so good to be outside and away from everything!
This wonderful little park was quite close to Solvang, the adorable Danish town I've written about already, so we headed over there and indulged ourselves in chocolate and cheese (we had just gone hiking, after all!). Then to top it off, we found this neat little café called the Succulent Café with delicious food, wine, and dessert. The waiter was fantastic, very chatty and knowledgeable, and though we ate too much we were very satisfied. We may have overindulged, but we agreed we must do this sort of thing again!
