The cold spell is over, but we are not back to 30s so its quite comfortable. OUr last day at /far Horizons, I take in the pool, get more gossip. Last night at our super-safe park - a car, a truck and two bikes were stolen. It is big news in the pool. We find next day that they caught the car thief, he was stopped for some reason and they discovered it then! Duh.
We chat to the young couple along the row from us in a smaller van - they are from Calgary? Taking 2 weeks of spring break to come here! What a lot of driving in 2 weeks. But I guess we did that too when we were working. Ted tries out their big heavy e-bikes but isn't keen to swap his lightweight touring bike for one of those yet. I must admit, I would like to give it a try.
WE've arranged to maybe meet a pal of Bob & Pat Allen but he's out of town and can't join us. We finally get to Downtown Kitchen, run by a local celeb chef. I bought his book on Chiles Rellenos at the national park store and am determined to try any of these super recipes. It's Sunday, so parking downtown with a 22ft RV isn't a problem. We are first in for happy hour so pick nice seats to watch the action.
Aaron the barman reminds us of nephew James. He looks after us really well and insists on taking our photo too. Ted finds his fav local beer (Dragoon IPA) and I try the Victory Garden cocktail, a green affair of muddled cucumber and mint, gin and stuff....loverly.
We take our time munching on the catfish tacos (Ted declares them the best we've had) with their own salsa, calamari (with mango, ginger, watercress and green chile vinaigrette), mole fries (not a repeat experience) and the delectable chile relleno stuffed with mushroom duxelles and lovely sauces. After we stroll the downtown treed avenues and enjoy the city ambience on a Sunday afternoon. By the time we leave, the restaurant is jumping, an inplace for the locals and the see and be seen people.
We can't find the ice cream place so pop by Fry's to stock up on Magnum bars instead.
