Rain and Sleet and Hail and Cold Weather!

So today I flew into Spokane, WA. What a dismal and cold day! I left temps in the 60's to come into 45 temps, rain, hail- BURRRRRRR.

I spent a little time driving the city (looking for grocery stores). My VZNavigation quit once (This seems to happen every trip at least once- I guess it loses a signal.) You would think that a GPS type system would work anywhere?? Go figure.
I am staying in town at the Double tree. It is right in the center of the city's event center, and borders the river. There are walking trails and benches along the river for those who choose to jog or walk, or just sit and enjoy the sound of the city. If you have a convention at the center, this isn't a bad place to stay and you are right on top of it. You can walk to restaurants (but the hotel has a Spencer's Steak House- so why would you go anywhere else?). I have a convention type show here this week, so it seemed like a great place to stay. The hotel is OK- nothing special everything is clean and neat, but an average hotel.

I am looking forward to tomorrow, since I will have time to motor around all day and see some of the terrain. I am hoping the weather will get better and the temps will rise about 15 degrees.
Will add some more info about Spokane tomorrow--ta-ta!
