Today we are in Boise Idaho for a day of much needed rest. I got to sleep until 9:00 and then just rested and hung out around our very nice hotel Marriott Courtyard in Boise and got a massage that was the best of my life. Below are some pictures of the ride into Boise and then of the city.







Boise is a very nice little city. It is an oasis of extreme liberalism in a desert of conservatism and a very youthful and progressive college town. There are great restaurants, shops and a parks along the river that runs right through down town. A few of us went out to a Basque restaurante in town. Evidently there was a large influx of Basque people who settled in Idaho because of the similarities to the Basque region in Spain.

Typical scenery


I was able to down load some pictures from my roommate Charlie who is not only a computer genius but a great photographer.

  3. Alan, you look happy and health. Apparently being a penguin agrees with you. The pictures are fantastic. Now I never have to go to Boise, I can just look at the pictures you took. Thanks for keeping up with this blog. I hope to see Sarah on Sunday to catch up on all that has been going on here. Be safe.
