“The Power of Water” was today’s theme. The barrista at Starbucks in Spokane suggested we head west on US 2 to Grand Coulee Dam. There we experienced the good luck to be two of two on a tour of the hydroelectric plant within the dam which is the largest power generation plant in the US. Then as we left there and headed west we wandered into Dry Falls State Park. In the visitor’s center we realized that we were in the area of a cataclysmic ice age flood that dramatically changed the landscape of Washington state during the last ice age. Two very powerful experiences in one day! Tonight we are camped at a state park near Yakima.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
After a guided bus tour of the City of Belfast we visited the Titanic Belfast Museum located at the Harlan & Wolff shipyard where the great ship was built.
Looks like you are having a really great time. I am so jealous.
