We were pleasantly surprised by Coeur D’Alene ID. We knew nothing about the town except that Cissy lived closed to it. Coeur D’Alene is a resort town, with lots of galleries representing local artists, nice restaurants, Pubs and little Cafés, but above all, a huge gorgeous lake right downtown.

You can access the lake from the city park beach,

or the 3300 feet boardwalk.

Activities include Para-sailing, boating, jet-skiing, kayaking, you also have a choice of cruises, including dinner cruises.

It is the perfect spot of a vacation, the temperature is mild, but not cold. It’s like being at the beach without the salt and the extreme heat. We loved it!

Unfortunately, the morning we were supposed to leave, we found out that one of our rear dual tire was defective, OUCH!
