Lewiston Tour of Homes
It was back up to Lewiston this morning as Jim and I had tickets for the Lewiston Tour of Homes. Our favorite by far was the home that overlooked the escarpment. Of course, all the homes were nice, but that was was exceptional. The only complaint of the day was the snafu with the shuttle bus at one of the homes. We were stuck waiting 45 minutes with a group of other people; the buses were supposed to come by every 10 minutes...apparently one of the buses broke down. The bus eventually came and took us back to the starting point. We ended up driving our car to the last home, but that worked out okay.
Before heading to that home we enjoyed the desserts and pointsettia cocktail that was included in the ticket and then had lunch at one of our favorite restaruants, the Brickyard and browsed in a few shops.
The Tour of Homes continues tomorrow from 10 am-5 pm. Contact the Lewiston Historical Society to see if tickets are available. www.historiclewiston.org
