The Boyer House Walla Walla

... out that it was just the hunger striking again as I was entering my 47th consecutive hour without solids. Still, for a moment there, I actually felt human.

It's a bit strange being a solo traveller again but the same amount of people are laughing at my gags so a sense of familiarity remains, although I suddenly find that I have to pay for petrol. And it's not like ...

We flew from SF to Seattle to pick up the bikes. It wasn't the greatest weather to ride in, a bit rainy and cold, but we went over some great mountains. We managed to get about 400km done and quite far east. We wanted to get away from the bad weather as quick as possible.

... in historic Walla Walla, then went wine tasting at Reininger Winery where we liked the Cabernet and a Bordeaux-type blend which we bought. Drove to Kiona to taste wines at Terra Blanca, not impressed with the Malbec from Yakima, nor the Syrah grown locally in Red Mountains, but their Syrah Reserve was truly excellent though unfortunately too pricey for us.

During the night there was a terrific thunderstorm, preceded by frequent streaks of lightning, then a a nice downpour. I have to admit that I didn't sleep peacefully until I heard the rain, as less than a month ago there was a major wildfire from lightning in the area.

Sunday, I'm going to start heading further north. I'll probably spend the night in Couer d'Alene and then meet up with mom, Bev, Punk and Phil at Glacier on Monday. I hope everyone is doing well!

I think I will take them out for now, fill the bag up with my clothes and stuff, then pack the sleeping bag and pad separately with a few bungee cords so that I can attach them to my backpack when I arrive in Bangkok.

God gave me the blessing of being able to get the strength needed to perform it twice. I was still a bit sick, but God is faithful and lives were touched. God is Good.

I loaded up some things and came back to my cute Cottage. I think I will grill here tonight and open a nice white from Seven Hills and grill up some fresh Marlin from Fish on Land fish market. But not before heading to the South side for more wine tasting............
