Day 1 --- from Andrea

Downtown Boise Main Street on a Sunday Night

Our Wheels

All has gone according to plan.  We made it to Boise, Idaho. A long haul, since we took some back byways instead of going on the Interstate. It was fun. Great scenery. Many phenomenal mountain views and inspiring rock formations. Took us about 9 hours which is not insignificant, and then we had forgotten about the time zone change, so we arrived an hour later then we expected. But luckily Boise is a very hip, hopping town, and there were plenty of eateries still open and lots of people on the streets.  Our rental car has turned out okay.  It has a few appealing characteristics compared to our rather intense R32. It dampens and isolates from both road and wind noise rather well. Acceleration is poo poo in comparison to our road rocket, but it does run on regular and gets much better mileage.  Perfect for doing a 7000 mile trip.
