Today was absolutely beautiful, it is sunny and about 80 degrees… I took a walk to the Castle here in Berghausen to have a coffee and to write for a while… I wrote at a little wooden table, with a white umbrella, surrounded by stone walls to protect the castle from intruders… The last two times I have visited here it has been very snowy and cold… Today it was like a fairy tale, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, birds are chirping, and fall is creeping in on the trees and lightly dropping their leaves to the ground…
It is amazing to say I walked to the castle, you never hear people saying things like that back in Oregon, or anywhere in the US at all…
In Oregon I wrote at a local pub owned by Mcmenamins, I love these places, they are charming and unique in a comforting way… I have two favorites Cornelius Pass Roadhouse and John Barleycorn, if you get a chance to visit say hello for me… http://mcmenamins.com/
