Day 10

Day 10, Tuesday, October 2, 2012

Slept until 9:30 this morning! We had decided not to set the alarm since this is a day of R&R for us. Got up and had breakfast in the restaurant and then threw in the last load of laundry.

Then went out and soaked our old bodies in the hot springs pool. Lifeguards are wearing sweats and boots. Pretty funny. Of course, they have to sit up on their stand and can't dip into the warm pool.

Returned to the room and showered and then went back to the ice cream place because the woman had promised Heidi licorice ice cream today. Yuk as far as I'm concerned, but she loved it. Had an interesting conversation with the proprietors—they're Irish immigrants. Have been here since the 80s.

Back at the resort, Heidi got them to light the fireplace in the lobby and she's reading and I'm computing. All of a sudden I looked out the window and it's snowing! It had been drizzling when we went to get ice cream. That only lasted for about 15 minutes. There's a forest fire in the next valley, so I'm sure they need all the help they can get with moisture. Will see what that's like when we drive through there tomorrow. Only one way in and out of here!

No pics today, am looking back and adding them where I didn't post them previously. Wi-fi in the lobby much more speedy than in the room. Must be the fireplace.

Next two days are mostly travel days to get us to our Augsburg reunion in Leavenworth, Washington. Will see if there is anything interesting to photograph or blog about.
