Arrived at the Garden Wall Inn B&B last night 'round midnight. Was greeted by host Chris, who stayed up late to check me in. Went for a walk before breakfast and stumbled upon a Frank Lloyd Wright building a block away! Great way to start the trip. I felt a sense of wonder I so often experience in NYC; a mixture of surprise, curiosity and joy.
I've had some great breakfasts at B&Bs before, but this morning's ranked among the best. A less elaborate version of breakfast at Camden, ME's Hartstone House. I savored the fresh fruit - local cherries and raspberries, and apricots and peaches delivered in a farmer's truck from Washington State. I even had bacon for the first time in decades after Chef / Owner Rhonda explained the meat was from a local farm. The apple French toast w/ maple syrup and (wild) Huckleberry muffins were awesome. The local papers report: "Huckelberry season is on" in Whitefish, MO. The old, fat, shirtless neighbor noisily mowing his lawn outside the dining room window added a touch of reality to a perfect meal.
...gotta go. Cab's picking me up in 15 minutes for the short ride to the lodge where the Backroads trip begins!
