Today we headed off on a little trip out of Spokane, for a couple of days of R & R. After dropping of the dog at here hotel we headed out of the city toward the south, across something called "the Palouse". Palouse is a French word for "really not much out there, just a lot of wheat fields and not many trees". Our first stop of the day was my hometown...at least, my adopted hometown. La Crosse, Washington is a lot smaller than La Crosse, Wisconsin
but to me it looked like the same people live there. Our next stop was at the Palouse Falls State Park. As you can see from the pictures it is really a great place, but since it is out where there is "really not much out there, just a lot of wheat fields and not many trees" there aren't many people that get to see it...mostly just marmots, and they have gotten very good at posing for pictures. After the falls we headed for our final destination. I am not going to tell you where that is until tomorrow...the suspense is going to kill you, but that's okay. I'll give you a hint...its a place known for something sweet that will make you cry.
