So as the others have said we said our fond farewells to Cashmere (I will miss you Terry, Connie & Sadie!), and have landed in Ellensburg, home of the famous rodeo (that takes place in early September). Judy & Phil are my new super duper hosts and live in the town on a subdivision (I think), in what I would describe as the typical American residential street. It is really lovely and, as always, I have been spoilt (and it's been less than 24 hours!).
Judy & Phil showed me around town and we briefly took in an art gallery before heading to Fred Meyers (shopping metropolis) and then home to unpack and unwind. We then went out to The Tav (a pub!) for dinner (yummy oriental salad), before heading over to the University to see a student production of The Secret Garden. It was a really good niht (although I didn't 100% get the faux English accents!). Once done we headed to Wineagers for ice cream (home made), before heading back to the house. Phil & Judy have traveled extensively and it was great to see some of their pictures from Africa and Pakistan.
This morning I got to lay in - YAY! Pancakes were for breakie (yum yum), and we headed out to Fred Meyers to grab some groceries and then drop some oranges over to Phils Mom (who is 96 and living independently - amazing). We then took the trip over to Roslyn, where Northern Exposure was filmed for lunch at an authentic pizza place (really fantastic pizza), before heading back for some chill out time.
I will soon be off to catch up with the team for a social over at the wind farm which should be grrrreeeeeeeat!
