The temperatures that day in central Nevada were hovering around 100 degrees so we were really looking forward to a dip in the pool when we finally arrived at the Comfort Inn in Elko, NV. It has been over 15 years since I've worn a swimsuit and I don't think I would have been brave enough to do it now if the pool had been outdoors. Somehow an indoor pool seems more private.
We chose Elko so that we could have dinner at the Nevada Dinner House, which is a Basque restaurant that we had heard good things about. Absolutely super meal! Husband had steak and I had lamb chops, both covered with thin slices of deep-fried garlic. I don't know how they do it but the garlic was mild and sweet, no hint of sharpness or heat. The meal was served family-style, as is customary at Basque restaurants. First a bowl of home-made chicken noodle soup, then a salad with the house dressing, then the meat with a green bean dish and a big platter of crisp french fries. We couldn't resist the flan for dessert. All in all, one of the best meals we've had for a very long time.
And so to bed.
