Meredith and I just returned from a short road trip to Boise, Id. She wanted to check out a school there and did come away with a few answers. We made the drive there in one day and checked out the town. An artic storm was on it's way so we did not get to stop in SLC but decided to head home and did get to experience the storm in rural windblown Wyoming. It took us two days to get home and the weather and roads finally got better when we hit Laramie. We spent the night in Rock Springs after I had a spaz attack. We also spent over an hour and a half sitting on the highway due to an accident caused by stupid people going too fast. We've decided we now have a couple more towns that we don't care to visit again. Rawlins, Wyo. and Rock Springs. It was cold, long, and treacherous but we had some good bonding time.
We did get to check out Boise, Camelback Park, the Basque area of town, try some new food (basque), and also saw a herd of pronghorn trying to keep warm in the frigid temps.
Just little info on the basque people...........They are from.a region that is located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and straddles parts of north-central Spain
and south-western France.
They usually are sheep herders and ranchers which explains why Boise has one of the largest Basque populations. We had lunch at a basque bar and tried a lamb grinder and croquettas. They were delish............
