Day 13 - Port Ludlow, Washington to Walla Walla, Washington

Up at 6:30 to finish packing and take most stuff to the car. After coffee and half an English muffin, we just kinda hung out with our hosts. Clearly, we didn’t want to leave. But all good things must come to an end, so off we went.

For those who know me, I do take a wrong turn now and then. Today it was within a couple of miles I suspected we were on the wrong road. A quick check of a real paper map proved me right. This time I try to blame the GPS, which opted for a ferry ride while I wanted the Tacoma Narrows bridge. I short time later I look a left that should have been a right. That one was on me.

Starbucks had to wait till Poulsbo, while Port Orchard provided a Wells Fargo bank and Safeway for band aids and Ace Bandage. Lunch was a split turkey sandwich at the Cottage Cafe and Fireside Lounge in Cle Elum. Excellent place to stop mid-day in Interstate 90. Cle Elum is Indian for Swift Water.

Rest of the drive was uneventful and we are now at our lodging for the next three days.

Tomorrow Jeff and Anita will join use for an escorted wine tour.
