Wednesday, June 22 - Coeur d'Alene - still here and loving it!!!

We left the cloudy rainy skies behind us yesterday, and awoke to "Mrs. Sunshine" streaming through our RV window...Yay!!!

Time for a bike ride into town...

More art work...even in front of City work yards etc. instead of just a boring old sign...

This is across the river from our Campsite..



We spent some time riding through all the old neighbourhoods close to the water...found a few cute homes along the way...


Things are starting to get a little busier around the Iron Man site,...too bad we weren't here for that, we would have been in an awesome location to watch it...


 This is Mudgy and Millie, you can find them all over town, and Millie will be hanging out in different places on Mudgy....keep your mind out of the gutter!!!


This is my favourite piece of art work in town...

More adorable homes on the other side of the park..

So many of the homes have flower boxes all over and flags, always flags, they are so patriotic, and it's not even 4th of July yet!!!

And of course a church, love the look of some of these old churches..


And baby ducklings everywhere, this Momma thought this was a great place to raise her babies...


It's a puddle....at the side of the road....except look whats just down the road....

















This might have been a better place to raise her babies!!













Riding through this park, I noticed these really really cool metal leaves all over the place, George figured it out...they are to keep the skateboarded off the railings and steps....BRILLIANT!!! why put a sign (which nobody reads except the people not skateboarding) just install these, no need for a sign at all.  We never saw any signs at all saying no skateboarding, and not a skateboarded in sight!!!


This is a great concept  (which we have seen other places), shops on the bottom, apartments on the top.  George loves to go to the Azteca Mexican Restaurant (great Margarita's for sure) and hit up the Cold Stone Creamery today during our ride....hit the spot.


Enough bike riding, time for a kayak.  We are really close to the beach from the trailer, great location to put in the kayak...Gracie is coming today, she's not too excited about it in the beginning, but she loosens up and enjoys the ride...


We were able to go out for a good 1 1/2 hour paddle, think we got ourselves a good kayak!!!

Wednesday Farmers Market here we come.  George stopped to get a slice of pizza, and this young guy comes up who is doing some type of Promo for Washington Trust Bank, and he says "Can I buy you your pizza? So George being quick says SURE, so instead of the slice he was only going to get, he orders himself an entire $20.00 pizza!!! It's FREE, then the guys says "Where are you from?"....thinking that from George's Seattle Seahawks Hat, he must be close to local and can maybe work his magic...!!NOPE ha ha, total Tourist, no new membership for that guy!!!  Ha Ha Ha, 
Dinner on Washington Trust, woo hoo!!
