Sitting here in our timeshare in Northern Idaho - we've had some overnight rain, which persisted through breakfast, but it's clearing up now and I'm sure it'll be another hot and sunny day, but I thought I'd take a few minutes out to do a quick blog posting. Facebook has a number of photos etc on it, so I'll keep this short.
Seattle was great and it was nice to meet up with Scott's cousin, Mark. We did the standard "Duck" tour in the amphibious vehicle - every tourist city in the world seems to have these now. Here we are at the start:
25 bucks this official photo cost us - I had to swallow hard. Our driver, Captain Chaos, was good and certainly got Jo going. She started complaining about the music as we boarded the Duck, but, within 5 minutes, she was up there dancing away, swinging her arms above her head.
We did the Underground tour - pretty interesting and some funny stories, well told. We also spent time at the fountain next to the Space Needle (from the 1962 World's Fair) - mostly waiting for the big fountain to explode:
The flight through to Spokane on the Washington/Idaho border was quick and easy. We had lunch there until Scott and Lucy arrived in the truck to pick us up.
Our first full day in Idaho was spent at the pretty lakefront town of Sand Point, up towards the Canadian border. Nice day all round and we finished it - as we did the day before - with another great barbie on our decking overlooking the golf course, courtesy of Scott - and Lucy, of course. They sure know how to BBQ - lots of practice, I guess.
