Lake Chelan was beautiful, I loved the town, loved our condo and think I could have had a wonderful time, but I will admit that it wasn't all flowers and candy. Every day my travelling companions found something to complain about:
- the weather sucks
- the weather is great - the weatherman sucks
- there's nothing to do here (despite a book with 101 things to do in Lake Chelan)
- if there was Internet, we'd be able to find things to do
- my back hurts, why am I sleeping on the hide a bed?
- stop offering me a real bed, of course I'll sleep on the hide a bed
- The Vogue - Internet cafe - good coffee, nice atmosphere, definitely a great community space
- The Bear Market - Natural foods market - great selection, reasonable prices
- The Bear Market Cafe - crepes! Need I say more? I will, though - these crepes are WONDERFUL! Go there! The crepes are fantastic and the guys working the cafe are super friendly. They even gave me the recipe so I can start making crepes at home!
- Blueberry Hills Farms - we had lunch here one day, but the real attraction is the pie! I don't even like pie, but the mixed berry pie was yummy!
- Tsillan Cellars Winery - I missed this, but everyone loved the winery and agreed it was the best one. Modelled after a 15th century Tuscan villa, the buildings and landscaping were gorgeous and the wine was the best. Based on the sample I tasted out for pizza, I'm inclined to agree - it's some of the best wine I've ever had.
- A great scenic drive thru Chelan Butte, which I also missed, but which was described to me in great detail and included amazing scenic vistas and even a ghost town.
