Tuesday, September 23, Day 22.
As promised in yesterday's journal, today's web album contains pictures of the County Park we are staying in. The above photo shows our campsite here in Wenatchee, WA. The weather today was perfect, again! We got out early and drove to Leavenworth for breakfast, then walked around the town and did a bit of shopping. There was so much in Leavenworth to see, that we decided to stay another night, and just spend the day walking around.
The town of Leavenworth is like a Bavarian town. All the buildings resemble the quaint little shops one would find in Bavaria, and the folks who staff the stores, restaurants and information center all dress in Bavarian attire. Most of the food places also have a Bavarian flavor, with sausages, brats, beer and music. The downtown area is only about four blocks, but the little shops are so tightly nestled in each building, that it takes a whole day to tour the downtown, going into all the shops along the way. As many of you may know, Kathy loves nutcrackers, you know, the wooden figures with the lever in back, and the mouth that opens to hold and crack the nuts. Well, there is a Nutcracker Museum here which houses over 5,000 nutcrackers, which date back to Roman times. This was quite an enjoyable day, and, as I said, the weather has been perfect since we got here.
Tomorrow, we head further west, destination Olympic National Forest. Stay tuned.
