Spokane wrap up

Ran our errands. Went by the old house (120 years old and the old girl looks great.)

Spoke to my Mom and Stepdad and my Dad and Stepmom while we had good cell service. Despite health issues, both sets of parents told me the were still "Upright and taking nourishment" so I guess that's a good sign.

Late this afternoon we walked along the Spokane River to our favorite restaurant Anthony's at the Falls. It was a chance to remember why we loved Spokane so much. Although there is still a lot of "grunge " in Spokane, there is still so much beauty. People are active. Running, walking, biking and in the winter skiing and snowshoeing.

In 1976, Spokane hosted the World's Fair and many parts from the Fair have been preserved. The whole downtown used to be a railyard and it was converted for the Fair into a beautiful park. Our university district was also a railyard, but now hosts presences from Gonzaga, Washinton State University, University of Washington, and Eastern Washington as well as Spokane Community College.

We had a good evening meal and walked both ways from the hotel. Its not hot here like it is in the Eastern half of the US. Heading out tomorrow to Alta Lake State Park. I will post as I have service over the next few days. If you dont hear from us, dont worry.Read more
