Not too far from Peach Beach is the St. John's Monastery, a Greek Orthodox women's monastic community. They have a bakery and gift shop with amazing Greek food and baked goods. Kathe and Jim made that their first stop this morning. They bought some cookies, biscotti for themselves, and a large spanakopita to serve tomorrow when Warren and Kathy come to join us.
This afternoon Kathe and Jim went to the Cascade Cliffs winery in Wishram, Washington. They have a beautiful setting on the cliffs overlooking the Columbia Gorge. Apparently, the wine was pretty tasty as they came home with six bottles. Outside, from the vineyard you could see Mount Hood. It's so large that it was hard to take a picture with Kathe's phone.
At the winery they asked about the unusual logo on the wine bottles. It seems it was a taken from a group of petroglyphs at the nearby Horsethief Lake State Park.
You know my humans, of course they had to explore and find them. These petroglyphs were saved during the construction of the John Day Dam. The rocks have been returned to the area and are displayed in large pieces in the State Park.
