On the 14th of May we went the scenic 165 miles to the east of Whidbey on Route 2 to the little town of Leavenworth, Washington. We've been here before and it is still a wonderful German experience.

We picked the KOA in town because of its location but were very disappointed as the lots were tiny and not really suited for our size rig. And the guy next door started a fire which he fed most of the night right under our slide out. Sometimes the guidebooks are quite wrong and this was one of them ... it was even very difficult to get out of the site in the morning.

The reason to be here was not the RV park though, it was the German atmosphere and food and that was not disappointing at all. We talked to some locals and they recommended the Mozart restaurant which was upstairs on the main street and we settled in.

Let's see ... the wheat beer, the Mozart on the piano, his bust on the mantle, and the very authentic furnishings really put you back into Deutchland for real. We started with an appetizer of fried brie, gouda, and mozzarella ... super ... dipped in lingonberry and tomato sauces.

Then the main course of veal schnitzel ... Jo-Anne with jager and me with a plain lemon batter ... and of course a side of potato pancakes. Nope, no room for desert! Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food.

Here's the outside of the place with its red sign on the main street of Leavenworth.

And Jo outside just another of the well decorated buildings in the town that remind us so of many German towns that we visited and lived in.
