Salmon is rather appropriately named as at certain times of the year it is a great place to fish for Salmon. None around at the moment though so time for Jan to catch a little more sleep after a spot of breakfast and a short walk to Downtown for me. Found a cap for me at Kings store to protect my delicate head from the sun - last night was not a boozy one but best be prepared eh!
Shopping trip over and it's back to the Motel to wake Jan up then a stroll for us across to a picnic
area between two cuts of the river to chill, try to identify some birds and take some pics. Easy to see why this is also a good white-water rafting spot!
On the way back to our base we were tempted (but only a very small amount) by this sign:
At least one of our readers might appreciate the will power involved in walking straight past this invitation rather than walking in to stretch muscles that quite frankly have probably not been stretched for at least 30 years!
We did though pop-into a Mexical restauant for a look at the menu (and a couple of drinks) to see if it was a good place for the evening. It turned out to be a great opportunity for Jan to practice the Spanish she learned in Lanzarote - 'Vino Blanco' and 'La Quenta Por Favor'. We did go back in the evenng and I must admit both the food and the beer were excelent (the Mexican 'Dos Equis Special Lager' was particularly refreshing).
Chatted to our indian (that's asian indian not native american indians) Motel hosts who were standing outside enjoying the warm evening and a couple of deer just sauntered along the grass bank to the rear about 20 feet away from us.
This is a lovely place to chill!
