Dear Emily---
Got into Coupeville about mid-afternoon. Travel was a smooth as I've ever seen it. Still, it was a very long day. Coupeville is located just about halfway up Whidbey Island and is just as lovely as anything I've seen in Amherst. Well, a lot different in some ways but very nice.
Settled into my room and decided to enjoy a little reading time. Trying to finish Garth Stein's 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' before he speaks at the Writers' Conference Sat a.m. Excellent Read thus far! I wouldn't have known that a dog's point of view could be so interesting!
Went for some Dinner (or is it Supper?) at Christopher's -- just across the street from where I'm staying. Check this out:
*Cream of Tomato Soup with Fresh Spinach and Parmesan Cheese Garnish and a Grilled Prawn hanging from an ultra-thin bread stick (OK, maybe you needed to be there).
*Mixed Salad Greens with the House Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing.
*Fresh (!) Salmon on a bed or Wild Rice and Fresh Sauteed Greens. Accompanied with whole Green Beans and thinly sliced Carrot.
*A very nice Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley to accompany.
*Raspberry Crepes with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
*Freshly Brewed Coffee
A Very Promising start to my Week!
More later . . . from another Nobody,
Kim
