Our stay over has provided us with a wonderful day. This morning we attended a potluck breakfast before the church service. There was a lot of good food and many kind people asking us about our trip. It is always so nice to feel so welcomed.

Most of us cleaned our bikes, updated our journals, and hung out for the rest of the day. We had a baked potato bar for lunch. People in Idaho know how to eat potatoes. They showed us how to cut it down the middle and then squeeze it in order to open it fully. You then fill it with lots of fixings, eat some, fill it up again, eat it more, then fill it up one last time and eat it like a burrito. It was delicious.

In the afternoon many of us went on a short 4 mile bike ride along the river to see some sights our hosts recommended. I know you’re thinking we’re crazy for riding on our off day, but it was a really nice, leisurely ride. The river was pretty, as were the falls that gave this town its name.

Dinner consisted of lasagna, gluten free pizza, and salad. Needless to say, we were treated very well today.

We are looking forward to a series of shorter rides this week!
