We have been in Walla Walla for the past 30 hours, and it has been a wonderful adventure. The wine tasting is the big draw, but our adventures around the city may have been the better part of the trip. We probably walked more than 5 miles today...looking at the ancient downtown buildings and the historic homes...then did the wine thing in the mid to late afternoon.
One of the more famous wineries in the area is L'Ecole #41. You can see Kay standing outside the tasting room, next to the bell. She went in...I stayed outside ringing the bell for about 3 and a half hours. We are lodged at the Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla,
and had an interesting dinner next door at the Whitehouse-Crawford Restaurant. Our
experience included calamari, gnocchi, duck and polenta. It wasn't cheap, but may have been the best meal that we have had...outside of Kay's cooking...in many years. Walla Walla may not be a big city, but it has its finer points. We are going home tomorrow to pick up the dog, and then pick up Beth at the airport as she comes home for spring break.

That marmot looked an awful lot like your neighbor...sporting a hairy, well rounded mid section! LOL. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :-)
