Our Drive to Coeur d' Alene

It rained most of the night and we woke up to rain this morning.  We headed out early...

It rained all the way to our destination but the scenery was beautiful anyway.  Roads were curvy and mountainous.

We have arrived at our destination.  We have also gained another hour as we are now on Mountain Time.

Nancy and George called us and we invited them over for dinner.  It is so nice to see them again.  After dinner, they treated us for some frozen yogurt at JAMMS.

It was delicious.   they then took us on a tour of Coeur D' Alene.  It is a beautiful city....more pictures to come later.

Nancy, George and Manuel pose for me...
