Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Thirty-One

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Mokihana

Ho da long time, yeah? Well, one excuse is that I was at the beach with my friends for four days. But here I am again, and we’ll be driving through the Idaho desert for a bit longer. When we first moved to Twin Falls, I had a really hard time about the desert. The towns were green, with trees and flowers, but surrounding all of them was the desert.

For instance, if I go visit my cousins in Montana, I take both meibutsu and omiyage. But I never go empty-handed. You may ask, “And your point is?” Well, try wait. I’m gonna tell you. Continue reading →
