Around the campground

On Saturday, we decided to visit Alcantara Winery -- their entrance was right next to the entrance of the RV campground where we were staying. 

There was a nice "backyard" area with tables that had umbrellas to help provide shade from the sun...

There was an entertainer who was playing and singing (to the right under the wine colored umbrella) -- and a cute little girl who danced for a few of the songs!

Our glasses of wine. We decided not to do a tasting but rather to tell the server what kind of wine we usually drink and let them recommend. We didn't mention that we normally drink box wine from Walmart... but just "Moscato", and she indicated a Reisling for me (because I like the sweeter wines) and a Rose' (though we're not certain which one) for Carl (because he wanted a drier wine). Both of us decided we prefer what we're used to... but we're not sure whether that's because we're used to it, or whether it is because we really prefer the flavor!

Sunday was our last full day in Cottonwood -- since it was predicted to get up to 90F, we decided to get a walk in early. Carl suggested that we walk the length of the campground -- which is not only pretty long, but also an elevation change.

On our way down, I took a picture down toward the winery that we visited on Saturday. The hill that is in the center and closer is terraced and has grape vines growing on it. The green area to the left with the building and a red roof is, I think, the owner's home.

It turned out that down through the campground and back was a 3 mile walk, and 300' elevation change down and back. It is a little tougher because the uphill was at the end (all downhill to begin with), but we made it!

We then got to join our church family in Irving for Easter services, and spent a quiet day the rest of the day.
