What I Just Read
My rating: (I need to cry for 5 stars.)Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.
If you go to Washington, you must go to the Olympic national park, it's an amazing rainforest, it's like going into a fairy tale! check it out! http://www.nps.gov/olym/
Who needs a bear when Chumley is here? And you don't have to dip yourself in anything; he'll bite you au naturelle (your barista story has me thinking in French again). If you come out here, come to Poulsbo!
August is the perfect time to visit Western Washington. It's why people eventually move here. Mt. Rainier is quite lovely, but you may not see a bear. My bro spent a week hiking the Wonderland trail and didn't see any bears, but lots of other critters.
