My last post was before we had our anniversary dinner at Beverly's. I have to say, it was better than expected. Sue thinks it may have been our best dinner ever. All of the food was fantastic; we paired the appetizer with champagne, the entree with Louie D. Private Reserve Pinot Noir, coffee with our souffle's, and a 1995 vintage port to settle everything in.
When you order a plain cup of coffee, they bring a tray of goodies with it; Rock candy sweetener, cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, 1/2 & 1/2, biscotti, crumbled chocolate, and of course, packets of sweetener.
After we had our souffles, our waiter remembered it was our anniversary dinner and brought us the 'celebration' dessert- Raspberry cotton candy cake with vanilla ice cream and a candle hidden inside.
OK, the dinner was great! Two desserts!
The next day we drove to Lake Pend Oreille ( pronounced pon duh ray) for a couple nights of camping in a beautiful setting. We went for a bike ride through the woods, and Susie did very well keeping the tires on the ground. This is the largest lake in Idaho, with over 148 square miles of area. It's 43 miles long and 6 miles wide in one spot.
The town of Sandpoint was disappointing. We remembered it as a small artist colony from our honeymoon trip, but now it's just clothes shops,empty store fronts and restaurants. Even the microbrew, MickDuff's, was substandard. We give it a thumbs down.
So- tomorrow, Glacier!! WOOHOO.
