Spokane and the Falls

SORRY if you are following this blog....sometimes we are unable to post, so you'll have to scroll down to find some earlier posts that you will have missed.

We drove on from Lewiston to Spokane, our most westerly point in the US for this trip.  The GPS guided us to a rather skuzzy Day's Inn on the wrong side of the tracks. After checking in, we set out in search of a restaurant for dinner and passed numerous abandoned buildings before arriving in a very nice downtown. Bev got worried about the bikes.  Dave had the opportunity to eat a most delicious Steelhead trout, caught in the Salmon River. Our main reason for visiting Spokane was to see the Spokane Falls.  Just before we arrived at the Falls, someone had jumped off a bridge and the high angle fire rescue crew was busy raising a stretcher.
We took a cable car ride over the Falls and then wandered, and had lunch in a beautiful park with a 1909 original carousel. Bev chose the giraffe as it is a favorite of Paige's.
Now for some of you Canadians, you like to see Tim Horton's coffee to remind you of home....for us, it is the Canada goose.....and low and behold, who did we find posing behind the sculpture of a Canadian flag???
