We arrived in Boise late last night. The aunt had beds ready and we crashed out. The drive was a long one, we caught the 7:20 ferry out of Bremerton, Seattle at 8:20 and we were on the road. (The ferry gave us, and specifically Little Z, a nice wake up time to run around before sitting in the truck for hours). Kennewick was the lunch stop. Towing a trailer for the first time makes for nervous parking... finding a place that we can get into and out of safely. Walmart allows for a monstrous parking lot and a trailer [View Full Entry]

Hello everybody, hallo iedereen, It's our last night before arriving in Portland OR. We will be off line for a week or so because of no internet. We are staying over in Boise ID for the night. Tomorrow it's gonna be another 400 and something miles of driving to do. In the past days we have made up some time by driving 5 to 600 miles a day. Once in Portland we will have put about 2900 miles on the rentalcar. So far most of the time has been driving. However we have been able to see a few nice things. [View Full Entry]

I thought I should blog Boise a bit, lest my readers elsewhere be under the impression that nothing exciting happens here. I quickly pulled out of my post-France funk and have been thoroughly enjoying my time at home before I set off again. My days are full of riding my bike along the Boise River and visiting friends. My evenings are booked with going out for one more drink with friends I won’t see in a couple years. I have managed to escape the heat in the valley a couple times and go up north of town to float the Payette [View Full Entry]

If you want to read in English skip down to the bottom of the blog. It’s not a translation, but I did break out of the French eventually. Et oui, je suis rentrée encore une fois aux States. La première semaine il faut dire que j’étais très dépaysée, mais pas comme avant. Chaque fois que je pars de la France est un peu plus facile, probablement parce que je suis de plus en plus rassurée que je vais revenir. En plus, cette fois-ci je pense à mon voyage au Maroc en septembre et comment je vais vivre tout pres de la [View Full Entry]

February, 1986 My father was working for an Exxon-affiliate in Colombia and he was transferred to Boise, ID. I know, of all places we get shipped to Boise. Everyone always makes a weird face when I mentioned I lived there. I really don’t have much of an opinion of it, as I was very young; I just have very vague childhood memories. My mom says she liked it a lot; it was a nice, quiet town. It only had one shopping center, and the first mall was being built when we left. I guess I can say this is when and [View Full Entry]
