Visiting Mission Santa Inés is a pretty weird experience, because the mission is
located in the small tourist town of Solvang, which has remade itself into a faux-Danish
village, where everything looks like it was yanked directly out of a Hans Christian
Andersen fairy tale.  Homeowners in Solvang can be shot for having insufficient
cute trimming on their windows and doors. 

The mission isn't really the big tourist attraction there.  Most everyone who goes to Solvang goes for
the Danish cookies and the, uh ... lutefisk?  Narwhal bladders?  Stewardesses?  Sorry, I'm not very
familiar with Danish culture. 

So it's kind of a strange thing to walk out of 18th-century Copenhagen and into a
19th-century Spanish mission, especially since you pass an 18th-century
Starbucks on the way.
