May 17, 2007 ~ SPOKANE-SANDPOINT-COEUR D’ALENE


Last week we took a trip to Spokane, and then crossed over into Idaho to visit Sandpoint and Coeur d’Alene.  Check out the "Spokane-Sand-C’dA" album.  Spokane is very pretty and is a great ‘walking’ city.  The powerful Spokane River flows throughout the city creating various waterfalls and providing the main backdrop for Riverfront Park, the site of the 1974 Olympics.  Walking trails meander throughout, and among the sites at the park are a circa 1908 carousel and group of sculptures of marathon runners (you’ll see these in the photos; these guys are the only ones I’d have a chance against in a 10K!).  Sandpoint is a neat town with the main feature being huge Lake Pend Oreille.  Coeur d’Alene and Lake Coeur d’Alene are beautiful, but we found it to be a little too busy.  There is lots of construction going on and too much traffic; not the quaint, sleepy town we thought it would be.
