Idaho - Day Two

Sunday

Day to explore Sandpoint - largest close town to our location. We had sun, rain, hail and snow getting there. The weather here seems to be wait a few minutes and it will change.

Sandpoint is an Amtrak stop on the Empire Builder route. Unfortunately it goes through in the middle of the night so the beautiful lake and mountain scenery will be missed.

Don was impressed with the hail collected on the bench and planters. It melted pretty quickly. When we got back to the car we had a pretty deep crack in the windshield. Hopefully it won't get any worse before we get home. Unfortunately, it's on the driver's side.

We bought tickets to the Thursday night screening of Carmen from the Opera Comique of Paris. http://www.panida.org/carmen.html. I asked if they tended to sell out operas here (you never know) - she didn't know since they don't generally have it. So far she's sold four tickets (including ours). I like intimate opera.

Ah Ruth you make me laugh. Love the intimate opera comment. Sounds like your trip is wonderful. What a great setting in ID.
When you get back I'll tell you all about my exciting OH in K today.
Enjoy your trip. Relax and know you are missed!
