Winthrop is a little town in the middle of nowhere Washington near the Canadian boarder, it's one of those towns that you would never drive through unless you really wanted to get there, and once you get there it is one of the coolest places you'll ever see. The whole town is super rustic. Every shop and resturant looks like it was pulled out of a western movie. It even has a working blacksmith... I had heard a lot about Winthrop and how cool it was, and just by what everyone else said about it I knew I would want to live there someday, and this was before I saw it. And it didn't let me down. You look around and there isn't masses of cars and people, no housing developments, no freeways, your more likely to see an eagle than a city pigeon or a seagull. By the end of my stay there I had already made up my mind that I was going to live there and how I was going to do it.
I was up there celebrating Riss' birthday. We stayed in this really cool little cabin right next to the Methow river and it had some awesome views. Not to mention it wasn't to far away from the killer XC skiing up there. I don't think I'll ever look at snoqualmie the same. We Xc Skied pretty much all day, but never went far from the warming huts. I was freezing up there. At the heat of the day it was maybe 10 degrees, and at night it got down to about 9 or 10 below!! Needless to say the warm shower that night felt really really good.
Oh yeah and another awesome part about Winthrop is that it has this restaurant that makes killer food. A little mix of American and Mexican to delight the taste buds. We ate there a couple times while Riss' mom made some awesome egg burritos and pancakes for breakfast and Lasagna for dinner the rest of the time.
Well I am sitting here taking a little break from trying to write this computer programme for class, so I better get back at that. So until next time, Late!
