We were able to see Nicholas out in Walla Walla! It was a fun combination of seeing him and sightseeing in the area. Our highlight was on the morning after we arrived. We were slated to see Nicholas after he was done at work. We were sitting outside having a hearty breakfast at one of the several great breakfast place when guess who walked by on his way to work?! We were all amazed and it was a fun meeting! It's a good example of how small Walla Walla really is.
Our second highlight was that the hotel we stayed at, the Finch, had free bikes we could borrow! How fun is that! We biked around campus one day and made our way further out to the surrounding neighborhoods and to Pioneer Park (very old, very tall trees here) on another day. Walla Walla is well-known for their wineries. We did a tasting a L' Ecole but we both agreed the complexities were mostly lost on us. Our drive out to the countryside outside Walla Walla was eye-opening. It was very arid and sparsely populated with farms miles from one another. It was also very hot while we were there (105) and we were surprised to learn the peak of the heat was around 5pm. Nicholas brought us to many different restaurants in the evenings. We also were introduced to Andy's Market. It was great to spend time with him!
