My next stop for the night was Wenatchee, Washington. Not much to the place for me. Its a regional agricultural area which seems to be a center for wine production and fruit. You know those apples grown in Washington you always hear about? This is the "Apple Capital of the World"(so they say). For me, it was just a place to sleep for the night. however, once I passed through I noticed a lot of vineyards. Perhaps a return is in order for some wine shopping?
Aleksandra surprised me in the morning, by being ready to go! She finally got the program down and was waiting in her carrier before I even got showered. Silly cat. NOW she gets it!One thing of note was a motorcycle in the motel parking lot. The Harley-Dee was registered in Edinburgh, Scotland! Weird. I didn't meet the rider, but that could have been an interesting conversation. I did meet a biker earlier, in the Dakotas from Malaysia. His English wasn't that good and neither is my command of Malay, so that made the conversation brief. He was on the way to Sturgis, SD from the Malaysian UN mission in NYC. His bike was the only one I have ever seen with US Diplomatic License plates. Who knew they even made them?
After Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Washington was next on the road. The entire town center is modeled on a Bavarian village. As was expected, it was filled with tourists, so I didn't stop. I have been here before, and will likely do so again. It's a nice little tourist town (population under 2,000) nestled in the mountains. I suspect it would be great during Christmastime when there's snow (or mebbe Oktoberfest?).
And now, ON TO THE COAST!
