The Sunshine and Salad Tour began over astonishingly good (& cheap) curried lamb & beef, and poached salmon at the Harbor View Inn in Pepin, WI ("Lake Pepin, part of the Mississippi River" as the town's web slogan proudly proclaims). J's glass of white wine glowed golden for 5 minutes in a single strand of sunlight that travelled 150 million kilometers for that sole purpose. The sky was frosty blue, the shadows long, the banks still snowy, the river dark and fast. |
