Well Boise, it’s been nice visiting you. Early tomorrow morning I fly back to Milwaukee. These past eight days have flown by, but they haven proven to be quite productive. I’ve learned a couple of things along the way, but most importantly, I had a chance to experience the city and interact with the wonderful people here. When I say wonderful, I mean it too. Everyone here was incredibly friendly, and many people tried to help me out in any way they could. Since I spent most of my free time in coffee shops, the employees got to know me a little bit and would always ask me how my visit was going. Nothing makes you feel more welcome in a city than the local employees you interact with on a daily basis.
To everyone that I met with during my time here: thank you. Thank you for taking the time to chat with a kid from Milwaukee looking to learn more about Boise. Thank you for giving me advice, both personally and professionally. Thank you for just being friendly. That meant a lot, especially coming out-of-state.
I hope to return in the near future and experience even more of the city. I know I covered a lot of ground this past week, but I also know there is still a whole lot more to Boise that what I’ve seen.
Aw, thanks Boise! I’ll miss you too.
(special thanks to the wonderful folks at Java Downtown for the drink you see above. I’ll be back!)
