My childhood friend Chelsea came to visit me this past weekend so we could live out our long standing tradition of seeing Kelly Clarkson in concert. The craziest part of the plan: the concert was in Boise, Idaho. The craziest part of the weekend: Idaho was surprisingly awesome.
Surprise #1 of Idaho: Speed demons. Idaho welcomed us by cranking up the speed limit to 75MPH. After driving through about 10 minutes of cow fields and pungent farms, we came to the conclusion that Idaho allows you to speed for the relief of your nose.
Surprise #2 of Idaho: It’s about time. Once Chels and I made it to our hotel in Boise, I suggested getting some dinner because I mentioned it was close to 7pm, to which Chelsea responded it was actually almost 8pm. I stared at her, pointed to my phone clock, then she stared at me, and showed me her phone clock displaying a time one hour later than my phone. After a moment of dumbfoundedness, we realized we had changed time zones. Silly mountain time!
Surprise #3 of Idaho: Mooooo. Did you know there are more cows than people in Idaho?* The approx. population of the entire state of Idaho is 1,584,985. I’m pretty sure we passed 2 million cows on the way to Idaho. All of Idaho seems like it’s too big to know what to do with itself. For instance, it seemed like Boise was a city built for 500,000 people, but only 100,000 lived in it.
Overall it was a rockin’ weekend during which Idaho exceeded my very low expectations.
*Not an official fact. Exaggerated for a good LOL.
