rodeway inn (65)

22 miles to the other side of Boise.

The only thing I want to say is that on off days I eat whatever I want.  And what’s that?  Well, today it was:

Breakfast sandwich

Coffee

Coffee energy drink

Fritos and bean dip

64 ounces of Gatorade

Two soy yogurt smoothies

Boltwood Farms soy protein smoothie

Superfood smoothie

Double order of salad, meatloaf, peas, and mashed potatoes (This is actually the first time I’ve ever gotten room service!)

Note all the smoothies in the middle.  Were it not for my steamroller of a metabolism, I would only want liquefied food products.  I think that’s the strangest development of the bike tour in total.  That and I talk to cows.  Aaaaaaaanyway, some pictures:

The American flag, note it.  It made me think a lot about how the neoconservatives have taken the flag, and made it very uncool to be patriotic.  Patriotism now means jingoism and blind support elitist imperialism.  Dammit, I like this country.  Not like I want to see it exclusively, or really have any kind of commitment, but as long as it’s on my terms, we’re cool.
