I haven't been back to Boise in a while, long enough that Ursa and I had no sooner left the airport than I started with the "ooh, that's new" and she started with rolling her eyes. The temperature was perfect today, as we made our way downtown to check out how much things have changed, and how much they've stayed the same.
After wandering around BoDo for a while we met up with my old friend Eric at Bardenay, a great little micodistillery, to see how things had changed for him, and how much they'd stayed the same. On the one hand, seeing Eric again was wonderful, but it also brought me crashing into the realization of how short of a time we would be here, and how few friends we would be able to see. These moments are rare, and special and I wish that I had more time to touch base.
While we were downtown, we came across this bike rack that someone had knitted a scarf around. I had to smile, because it reminded me of quirky, artsy charm that defines this community. It is one of the things that I miss most about this town.
We found ourselves in an interesting moment of vacation deja vu, when we went back to Bardenay to get together with my friends Erica and Steve. I suppose that if it was so much fun the first time, why not a second.
