I took Memorial Weekend to escape!
Yes, I drove to Leavenworth,
About 200 miles away,
Without my PTSD kicking in!
Great start to the weekend!
Stopped in Cashmere for a little antiquing!
Found a few Mustard tins I did not have,
eg: Nash's and several Cresent tins.
Also two Walter Foster painting instruction books,
And a Hungarian cookbook,
To remember my grandmother,
The Swiss Marquist, aka:Lady in English.
Her family was Spanish and Hungarian.
Eh, something new to learn.
And unexpectyedfly,
The memoirs of Sydney Laurences' wife!
Talk about a rare book!
Laurence was the Godfather of Alaskan painters!
So, not a lot.
No Indian anythings,
No coins,
Just books.
As for Leavenworth,
It is always fun to roam the shops,
Save for the prices!
I did get a shirt for half price ...
I stayed at Der Ritterhof Inn on the west side of town.
Half the cost of the "in town" hotels,
But is clean, nice beds, and rooms.
Morning was a hot breakfast service!
It was delicious and so the room became even cheaper!
Nice staff -
Recommend on this hotel for you!
Dinner was at King Ludwigs,
A German food source of note in the past.
Today however:
Barely passable German food,
Mostly cold!
So, microwaved food,
Not cooked!
And no longer recommended!
A good destination if you are flush with cash ans in the area!
