Were you able to see the Italian Heritage festival? I think it's going on all weekend. Are you home yet? Walla Walla is fun in October but hell in the summer. Literally. Ack. And, it has the added bonus of being right next door to a high security prison from which inmates routinely escape.
xxoo
p.s. Do we get to sample the wine next week?
Oh, I love that bistro. Love it. And yes, Walla Walla is like this secret find. Gorgeous place. I knew you would like it.
Rebecca: Yes. We een went to the prinson museum!
Charles: I like "Dark, Awful Man," and "Ars Poetica" a lot so far.
