Eric and I have settled into a cute 1-bedroom apartment in Burley, Idaho. Burley is a bit of a sad-sack town. It reminds me of a midwest town in the 1960’s. The residents are not overly open to strangers, but we’ve found the more they see us, the more approachable they become. The town is on the Snake River. We went golfing yesterday on a course that sits next to the river. Very pretty.

The weather has been very nice. It drizzles at night and then seems to clear for a very warm day. Today is the first day in the 60’s.

We’ve been walking a few miles each day. Picking different neighborhoods to gawk at. Most of the homes here were built on an alley system. The homes are mid 1950’s vintage. Small. A lot of brick construction. 

In hindsight, I think we would have opt’d for a shorter stay here. Oh well, it is very quiet and it’s giving us the opportunity to get mostly done with our client project. 

River is doing okay at Kimmi’s. He would prefer a less active environment, but he’s find places to hide and cope. He went missing a couple of nights ago. He finally showed up and is warming up to Kimmi and her son Hunter.

Not much more than this to report. We’re looking forward to Boulder, CO. We’re going to be staying in a home of a couple who is currently working in Amsterdam. The house is in central Boulder, which will be nice for activities. We’ll be rolling out of here on Oct. 11.
