Another dream come true

Today (Weds) was a very long day for Robyne,Jeanne and myself. Leaving home at 5am to get to the airport and journey off to Idaho. But, we made it! Poor Robyne got sick just before landing in Minneapolis, and I can honestly say I was not far behind. The lady across the aisle from us ran in the bathroom to get some wet towels and the water was shut off already! The flight attendant didn't have enough barf bags so he gave a trash bag. Ouch! Once on the ground and freshening up a bit we felt better.

The second plane taking us into Spokane was much bigger and we were in first class! That was nice (thank you Klaus). Plus Robyne was able to get some Dramamine and that helped a lot too.

It rained off and on on the way down to Moscow but we had a nice drive down (of course I was in my "navigation seat" and made our way to the hotel.

After resting up a few minutes we headed over to the Museum, of which we can see from our hotel room, and met Juli Thorson, editor of Horse and Rider magazine, Jennifer Hamilton, museum director and Katharine Bierlien. What a treat to get a personal tour from Juli and chat with Katherine and Jennifer, all who have helped me with my Appaloosa journey. Friday afternoon we'll venture back to the museum to meet up with Wendi Gunter, the artist who did Paha's image on a set of the museum's note cards. Pretty awesome!

Juli was willing to take us out and about and show us some highlights in the area and get some dinner, but Jeanne and Robyne could barely stand anymore and Jeanne was starting to feel a bit worse with a cold so we called it quits for the evening. So Juli drove us up the rise back to our hotel, raining pretty steady again by then, and said goodbye. I do hope we can meet her again someday, she was pretty awesome.

So Thurs we need to stop and get lots of vitamin c, a good breakfast and we are going to take a drive around the loop of the Indian encampments, and see a lot of where the Palouse peoples came from, the start of the Lewis and Clark expedition and more.

Enjoy the pics and we'll be back later!
