Did I mention that I really, really liked Wenatchee, Washington? I believe I did. We arrived and got the last site in the Wenatchee River County Park. We have had really good luck finding sites along the way.
This one was in a great location but alas, not a stick of shade at our site with 90 degree heat. It really was a cute little park. We are finding if they have any trees or grass, they automatically receive “nice park” status.
We got up and walked the nature trail in search of wildlife, birds and some exercise. We saw osprey, blue herons, deer and were tormented by what we believe was a belted kingfisher who stayed just out of viewing range but called to us incessantly.
Wenatchee bills itself as the “Apple Capital of the World” but they grow just about everything here from apples and pears to peaches, grapes, melon and corn. I am sure they grow all sorts of other things but that was all I saw. We made our way to the public market
and spent some time at the Jones of Washington Wine Tasting location within the market. They had some wonderful, reasonable priced wines and the two folks pouring were kind enough to sit and chat with us. Once they found out we were from Boulder, they told us to go the cheese store nearby because they owners used to live in Boulder and work for some tech company. Since he couldn’t remember where they worked in Boulder, he called them to ask. We didn’t recognize the name but I thought it was really cool that he took the time to call them. Did I mention the pace was nice and slow in Wenatchee?

In light of all the cool food and wine they produce in this region, I should have been prepared for Chef Kim to make an appearance. We had been running pretty fast and had eaten a few dinners out so her appearance was timely. I decided since I mention “Chef” Kim in the subtitle of my blog, I probably needed to be sure to show a few shots of her cooking. (Note: Chef is in parens because Kim does not wish me to show disrespect to professional chefs by referring to her in the same fashion).

She must love it.
Last meal (another fabulous one) at one of my new favorite places.
Got No Plan 
Nice!
Such a cute picture of Kimmer! Hey how about showing us some pictures of your living quarters? Like the inside and tell us what it’s like to travel in a trailer’!!!
It is great to hear you are having a good time, enjoying good food and wine! I love your pictures. It is a basil plant in front of Kim?
Yes, Claudia, the plant is in fact a basil plant from the house. We have named him
“Basil Boy” and he has been doing really well on the trip.
I’m so glad that you are smelling the roses! The caption of the last photo, however, is a bit disconcerting. The Last Supper? Say it isn’t so!
One note my writer/photographer friend, The heading box of the blog is AWOL. I get the outline of a big box with only a tiny question mark in the center. Please view this as helpful and not criticism. Peace Tall One….
