Great San Francisco Trip. Boise, Idaho Day 31

Day 31 Tuesday August 20
We had a very fine day in Boise.  It included a lot of walking.  First we visited a nature center and then took a walk on a bike trail along the Boise River.  Next came a visit to the Boise Zoo, which is excellent - not least because it has so much shade.  We were smitten by two three month old snow leopard cubs.  After lunch in the park where the zoo is located we drove by the Capitol and back to another part of the park to visit the Museum of Idaho History.  It is well done, but is long on reading: one display for each county becomes mind-numbing.  A quick trip through the rose garden (it was in the nineties) brought us to the library where a  group of younger men helped Bill unlock the IPad, which was in a snit because it had not been unlocked.  We had dinner at Whole Foods, and returned to our campsite to discover that we had a family of  seven for neighbors.  They were a quieter than we are, and a good night's sleep was had by all.
