Spur of the Moment

A week or so ago, in a phone conversation, Anna suggested that we should come to Reno for a piano recital. Well why not? So Friday, after Kris finished work, we drove to Elko for the night. We had a good meal at the Star Hotel, a northern-Nevada Basque hostel established many years ago for sheep herders and miners who had emigrated from the north of Spain in search of work. The food was served family style and was beyond abundant!

We arrived in Reno on Saturday and found all well here. That afternoon we drove up I-80 into California to Donner Lake where we had a beautiful walk through the forest along the shore. It was a clear, cool day and the afternoon sun made the lake sparkle. Anna and Rob had a business dinner in the evening so Kris and I took the binkers to Fatburger for supper. It was fine, but doesn't compare to our favorite Smashburger.

Today we are headed to church and then on an adventure. So check back for more. This, however, is all for now.
