Seattle to Glacier via Grand Coulee and Coeur D’Alene (TEA Days 45-46)

7/12

On July 12th we bid a fond farewell to the house and Griffin…

We then drove a while until we reached the Grand Coulee Dam. It is a mile long, and provides power for the whole Pacific Northwest.

Then we drove even more. We tried to stay in a town in Washington, but there was a big convention, so we got to go to Idaho! for a hotel.

We found one in a town called Coeur D’Alene.

7/13

We went to Mass in Couer D’Alene. The church wasn’t air-conditioned, so the priest mentioned that it was hot. He said, “It’s hot in here. Last night at the 5:00, I kept reminding myself, ‘Could be worse. We could be in Hell.’”

We got doughnuts after Mass! It felt like a real Sunday!
