Now in Spokane, WA at the Spokane County Fairgrounds for a night. We arrived early, so decided to drive into Spokane to visit the Riverfront Park. This is a must-see place to visit if you find yourself in Spokane. There were bike and scooter paths, walking bridges, fountains, and simply a beautiful place to meander on a gorgeous day in Spokane.
Yes, even a carousel you can ride for the small fee of $3, to help keep it in top shape. The Looff Carousel was built in 1906 and it appears expertly maintained with those $3 donations.
We were especially impressed with the architecture in the surrounding area. And, at the time of day we were there, no evidence of transients or any undesirable elements could be seen. We hiked around for an hour and could have easily spent another.
Louise suggested we get a pizza to take back to the bus, so I used Steve Job's girlfriend, Siri, to find us something close. She came up with David's Pizza, just a short distance from the park. David's serves up hand-crafted pizza, spun in the air while you wait! Excellent pizza and a fantastic atmosphere.
Cool bar, hey? The people were so friendly ... this place looks like it might really be jumpin' after work hours and on weekends. We just had to have something to drink while we waited for the pie.
Tomorrow we point the bus South and head for Oregon ... more adventures, and to visit Louise's Brother and Sister ... and families.
Stay tuned ...
