June 21 - Coeur d'Alene, a special place in our hearts

We feel very blessed to have been able to travel as much as we have in our lives together ...and of all the roads we have travelled and all the towns and cities and beaches we have visited......be both feel that if we could realistically call any place in the USA home....it would be right here in Coeur d'Alene...now that's not to say we wouldn't visit Florida every winter....but this would be the place. 



Went for a drive to Post Falls, which is just a few minutes away... the water is flowing pretty fast here.




The waterfront area is just so well done here, connected by miles and miles of bike paths and parks along the lake and the Spokane River. 




And then my favourite....if only I could find a small version of this for the back yard. Love these!


We had great weather today, about 26 degrees, so very nice for touring around and finishing off the day relaxing in the lawn chairs....winding down the holiday.....also a good time to take stock of what's in the fridge and freezer that can't be taken across the border....let's say I am cooking lots of chicken tonight and we will be eating oranges non-stop until we cross!

Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...

June 6 - Downtown Asheville

The temperatures here are refreshing....it cooled down last night to about 14 degrees...first time in a long time that the air conditioner was turned off and windows opened to let the breeze in through the night... We spent the day tripping around Asheville. Lu is in Doggy Daycare today so we are on our own. There are many large old buildings with individual little boutique stores and eateries.. Our first church we have been in on this trip...we got invited in so ..why not! Very cool area, we mostly window shopped....browsed around...enjoyed the cool old buildings... We saw quite a few old buildings converted into "Art walks" where there were individual artist displays/sales....love this guy!!!! A bike made out of wood....$60,000.00!!! Then back out on the streets!! Asheville is Beer Capital USA...and by 2:00...still no beer in our be...
