We are camped at Lake Wenatchee State Park, just outside Leavenworth, Washington. Leavenworth was a dying little town in central Washington, as the manufacturing closed, the skiers moved to fancier slopes, and railroad was no more. So the townspeople voted to make it a unique German Bavarian town, with its 100% German architecture. Every building looks like you are in the German Alps and you are surrounded by tall mountains here too. Restaurants, gift shops, bakeries, butchers, hotels, and every other business is just as if it came from Munich, Germany. We ate at King Ludwig's for lunch, Debbie had the Jaegerschnitzel and I had the Hungarian Goulash, both came with spaetzel and red cabbage. We did a lot of shopping and listened to the German band in the town square. We had a great time in this tourist trap of a town.
