From Coeur d’Alene we pushed our way across southeastern Washington today. We expected to have an opportunity to stop at a visitors center as we crossed into the state but saw no such possibility. We did stop in Sprague for fuel and a geocaching break. That search took is to an abandoned historic building known as The Letter Box right next to the post office. At the end of our drive we pulled into the COE campground at Hood Park in Burbank. We registered for one night on Site 6 and shortly thereafter went back to the office to extend our stay for one more night. We’re on the shore of the Snake River in between the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers and the Ice Harbor Dam. Just after we arrived Karen joined in a conference call with her Dad and her siblings to hear tales of Dad and Alice’s adventures in Ireland this past week!
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.
