Short post with no photos today. Just to say we got here safe and sound. The highway east of Reno, through the Lake Tahoe area, can be very dicey. Just ask the Donners! Seriously, often cars are required to drive with chains on them, and if you don't have them, you rent them from and they are put on by the "chain monkeys" at various spots. There is also fear of avanlanches. We were here once with the kids for a ski trip, and had to escorted out by State Police, who led out about 20 cars at a time on back roads because of the avalanche concern. I remember we were all perfectly still.
Anyway, we had no weather problems, and got here safely and soundly, happily meeting our hosts, Lucy and Bob.
Went out to dinner at a place called Willi's, which we are giving 4 stars. (out of 5)
Had small plates, but very, very good. Had a Charcuterie plate with a duck prociutto, a chorizo, and a tartufo, which is an Old Style sausage that had truffles in it. Also had a cheese platter, 3 kinds of cheese that were outstanding, except for the Smokey Blue (too smokey for me) a Vintage Cheddar, and a Triple Creme Brie. This
was served along with truffle honey and fig butter. Last dish was a small plate of Filet Mignon sliders, served on homemade brioche rolls served on creamed spinach.
