Well, if there had been any question as to whether we would stay in Winnemucca, I settled it by locking the car key in the trunk! Other than freaking me out, it was not such a big deal -- we called AAA and they took care of it.
So, after our car was rescued, we went looking for what Winnemucca has to offer. Mostly that would be two-bit casinos, motels and hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
But as avid blog readers may remember, Winnemucca does have one nice feature. a significant Basque culture and a number of Basque restaurants (they claim to have more Basque restuarants per capita than anywhere else in America).
We had dinner at Ormachea's, the reputed best one. It was great fun -- we had their sampler dinner and got to taste a wide variety of specialties. It was very homey feeling and the food was tasty if not dramatic.
Tomorrow it is on to Berkeley!
