Peter og jeg har lånt Jeannie's bil hjem til vores RV og onsdag morgen starter med en lille udfordring. Der er ingen strøm på bilen, men der ligger kabler i bagagerummet, så problemet er ikke så stort. Endnu en dejlig solskinsdag. Ved opgørelsen onsdag aften har vi brugt en del solcreme - 2 hele flasker plus det løse samt en del alovera/after sun. Der bliver badet og sejlet hele dagen. En rigitg feriedag ved søen. Jeg nyder at se hvordan alle vores unger hygger sig sammen. Der er virkelig blevet bekræftet nogle bånd på tværs af grænser her.. Aftensmaden er dansk. Vi besluttede os for at lave frikadeller. Heldigvis var det en succes og ingen blev skræmt af tanken om dansk mad. Forhåbentlig vil nogle komme til Danmark for at stifte bekendskab med flere danske retter. ... read more

Started out the door by 10am with a plan of what to see from the campground hosts. W headed first to Big Springs and Johnny Sack Cabin. Big Springs is a Natural National Landmark And is one of the 40 largest natural springs in the world. It produces over 120 million gallons of water each day And creates the headwaters of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River which eventually creates Upper and Lower Mesa Falls (more on that in a bit). Truly amazing the see Gods handiwork and His provision for life in such an amazing way! Also at the springs location was a beautiful cabin built by German immigrant Johnny Sack in 1929. He was an artisan of woodworking and his cabin is truly representative of what his gifts were! He also built a ... read more

Endnu en dejlig morgen. Det er så dejligt at stå op og tage shorts på uden at overveje om det eventuelt kunne blive lidt for koldt. Det kan det ikke! Jeg havde tid til at få styr på vores vasketøj. Det er altså hurtig ekspedition herovre. 1 time, så har man vasket OG tørret en maskinfuld tøj. Det kan jeg ikke derhjemme. Efter en kop morgenkaffe hos Ann og Bob, blev vi enige om at pakke hurtigt sammen. Så skulle der købes ind. Alle har fået tildelt en maddag i McCall og vi skal selvfølgelig lave dansk mad. Vi har bestemt at det skal være frikadeller. Jeg skulle hilde og sige at det er lidt af en udfordring at købe ind til dansk mad i et amerikansk supermarked. MEN vi kan jo bilde hele selskabet ind ... read more

Geo: 43.611, -116.393Family, Friends, and Parents of Student Travelers - Tomorrow we depart for Costa Rica! Sean and I are very excited to make this first trip to Central America, especially after almost 2 years of preparation for this vacation. The students have worked extremely hard throughout the last school year to raise funds for the trip (we sold a LOT of pizza!), and we're all eager to finally set foot upon Costa Rican soil. Our flight departs Boise tomorrow at 6:30 AM (meaning we'll have to be at the airport at the very early hour of 4:30!). From here, we'll fly to Salt Lake, then to Atlanta, and then into San Jose, Costa Rica, landing at about 8 PM. There is no time change for us (meaning no jet lag--yay!), so we'll enjoy dinner upon ... read more

After a very windy and wet night (which I love, as long as I am warm), we set off for Yellowstone. On arrival, and whilst going through the East entrance, we were advised by the ranger not to go in, or over the pass because of the snow and ice! Not a good start...but we duly ignored the advice and set off anyway. Going over the pass was cold, but perfectly OK to ride, but my advice to any motorcyclist thinking of camping in Yellowstone is...don't! Because of the elevation, its all freezing, with snow in most places and windy most of the time. There are lots of people and the campsites were soggy, no hot water and uneven. We duly visited 'Old Faithful' geyser, which is quite a phenomenon, but the way its all managed ... read more
