1st August 2011: Left to go over the pass to Tahoe. Extraordinary landscapes on the way. The meadows were stunning and then the rich farmland below Tahoe. Lake Mono is vast and weirdly out of place.
Stayed at the Black Bear Inn which is very nice. After our complimentary wine and cheese we adventured to the laundrette. We were guilty of the ultimate laundrette crime of over sudsing, I blame Kath. Some fairly odd people there, no great surprise. So after slumming it we went next door to a rather nice wine bar and drank rather nice expensive American wines. Stayed until closing due to, yet again, chatting to a local.
