Boise, Idaho

6/14
Tuesday
fell and sprained my left ankle TERRIBLY... cried for several minutes from the pain. frustrating that Magnus laughed and told me that grownups don't cry. spent the day driving around looking at neighborhoods. stopped at Veterans Memorial Park for several hours, and then dozing back at the camp, fighting a horrible migraine, no energy, and overall just flat lethargic. fortunately, Erik made friends with some 'neighbors' from Arizona, and the dad set up the gas grill and warmed up some hot dogs. even sent over a bag of ice, a cold juice drink and some chips for my dinner. the ice helped more than I would have thought possible. After a couple more hours, I got brave enough to hook up the trailer and pedaled west from the camp, 2 miles (in Garden City, at Glenwood and Marigold towards the town of Eagle) to the very western end of the greenbelt of the city and 2 miles back. passed a nice apartment complex that butts up to the greenbelt, good possibility for some domestic tranquility. Erik was having so much fun, he 'popped' out his bottom tooth, second one this trip, third one this year. At a buck a tooth, the tooth fairy is getting a little frustrated at his expenses this month.
