From Coeur d’Alene we pushed our way across southeastern Washington today. We expected to have an opportunity to stop at a visitors center as we crossed into the state but saw no such possibility. We did stop in Sprague for fuel and a geocaching break. That search took is to an abandoned historic building known as The Letter Box right next to the post office. At the end of our drive we pulled into the COE campground at Hood Park in Burbank. We registered for one night on Site 6 and shortly thereafter went back to the office to extend our stay for one more night. We’re on the shore of the Snake River in between the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers and the Ice Harbor Dam. Just after we arrived Karen joined in a conference call with her Dad and her siblings to hear tales of Dad and Alice’s adventures in Ireland this past week!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
