All day today was like biking through old county roads, again passing all kinds of farms. I’m just loving the scenery; I knew I would, thanks be to God.
We also reached Idaho today – wahoo, I’m making my way through all these states, slowly but surely.
When we reached Boise we were thoroughly impressed and excited! It had a small town feel, it was very green, the buildings were very Victorian, and there were bikers everywhere! We talked to a local in one of the coffee shops and she said that the city has become very biker friendly over the past few years. She also directed us to biker heaven (one of the bike stores in Boise,) we were like always, kids in a candy shop. Interesting to note though, is that everyone is conscious about the money they spend on bike equipment etc. We are biking across the country to end the cycle of poverty, not to display how much money we have and who has the sweetest looking bike with the sweetest looking bike stuff – I commend my fellow bikers for their great attitudes!
Tonight we also went out for some shlukies as some of our fellow bikers are leaving tomorrow. Again in was a local brewery (beer made right there in the restaurant!) I think the funniest part of the evening (besides this picture of Hans and I) was that one of the beer names was buttface. At one point in the evening Sarah Terpstra ordered a pitcher of buttface, when the waiter came out with the pitcher he was looking for Sarah. Sarah saw this, lifted up her arm and yelled “buttface” hahahaha, I laughed a lot. I’m sure you could all picture that.
