A German Village in Washington State, USA

february 13, 2016


At the bavarian village of Leavenworth, Washington Christmas lights are kept on for several months.



A restaurant with an outdoor barbecue, a heatlamp on every table and the aroma of smokey german sausages drew a long line of people trying to get in.

After spending every winter in the tropical countries the past 7 years, we decided to go for the snow this time. So here we go, on valentine's weekend Mitch and I decided to pick Leavenworth, in the state of Washington. We flew 2 hours from Sacramento to Seattle then drove 2.5 hours east. Destination .... Warm Springs Inn and Winery, which is located about 7 minutes drive from the town of Leavenworth.


Enormous amount of snow along the roadside and the snow-capped mountains left and right ....

A couple shots that don't depict the beauty of the Warm Springs Inn where we stayed.

The breakfast area overlooking a river which runs through the property and the mountain view.
