Day 7: Lewiston, ID to Coeur d'Alene, ID


Today was a "travel day"--we need to be in Libby, MT tomorrow, but today we had free to travel, sight-see, etc. We traveled from Lewiston to Coeur d'Alene, checked into a Days Inn, answered emails for a while, then headed out to see the beautiful sights around here. I've said before that this is one of America's best-kept secrets. It is really beautiful here--a lake surrounded by pine-covered mountains. On our drive around the lake, we stopped and hiked a while on a couple of trails through the pines.

Here, I'll let Emilee put in a few words:

Hi This Is Emilee. I Went Hiking Today I Have blisters on my heels. We ate out at outback steakhouse tonight. I'm keeping up with my homework. I'm having fun with my mom and dad I really hate theese blisters on my heels but I Had my shoes on. I had to walk more but i had blisters on my heels It started to sting and hurt i wanted to cry but i didn't cry my mom gave me a bath with my blisters on my feet blog to you later love your student Emilee Casey

This is Susan. Poor Em did so well on the hike. Just had the wrong shoes on. So back to flip-flops in coolish weather! I finally got to check my email and have several "to do" things on my list! We found a good deal on a motel for tonight because we mentioned the price in the AAA book. The motel lady said she had to honor the price that was printed as a mistake! Great save. We stayed with a wonderful couple last night who made us feel very loved. More later! Susan

That is so cool. My grandparents used to live near Coeur d'Alene. I remember visiting the Cataldo Mission/Old Mission State Park in that area as a young child. Very cool blog
