You climb into a private vehicle at dawn and the Pacific pushes the windshield with a cold, salt-scented breath—highway and cliffs trading places as the city gives way to sea and the road threads the mountains. Windows frame white stucco roofs, the Santa Ynez range rising like an amphitheater to the north; later, a compact Danish village appears, its windmills and bakeries welcoming a very different light.
