Last night we stayed with Ross and Jodi Giem in Nampa, Idaho. Neither of us had met them before, so we felt a little odd rocking up on their doorstep expecting a bed for the night, but they were great and very inviting. Idaho really is the potato state, and Caldwell is an interesting city - it's like farming meets suburbia, because as you drive through there are just paddocks all around the streets. Another thing we found out is that you can even get substitute milk made from potatoes! Neat huh?!
