We roll into Wells, Nevada, and gas up again, still getting slightly over 20 MPG. We are ready for a cup of tea and eagerly stop at Bella’s Espresso House. It is a place ‘out of place’ in Wells, so different from what is normally found in this rugged country and in a ‘truck stop’ town! Perhaps because it is owned by a ‘Madam’ who also has ‘Bella’s Gentlemen’s Club’ on the edge of town, the Espresso House has a character all its own. We discovered Bella’s two years ago on our trip to Boise, Idaho. We had opted for a truck stop dinner (our mistake) and visited Bella’s Espresso House & Diner for our morning coffee. It was a pleasant little diner with great coffees and homemade cinnamon rolls and we wished we had taken a chance on it the night before. Anyway, today we look forward to a stop at Bellas and enjoy it even more. The energy is livelier than the previous time we visited. Tommy zags with an Americano (we haven’t been drinking coffee so it is a special treat) and Julia enjoys a Jasmine Green Tea. Our waitress is cheery and chatty….fun, almost bubbly and makes our visit to Bella’s even more memorable. Revived and refreshed, we head out on the road with renewed anticipation of more adventures for us and bringing joy to more folks on the road.
