Stage 4: Rest Day in a Bowl of Soul

coffee and AliToday we decided to kick back a little. We're spending a few nights in Sun Valley and a morning of reading was just what the coach ordered.

Mornings here are cool, a nice change from the heat of recent weeks in NorCal and Pocatello. We walked around town looking for the best cup of coffe. There is a Starbucks here but it's pretty empty. There are many great alternatives. Before this morning we thought we had found the ultimate Mexican Mocha at Joe Coffee in Truckee. Today we discovered The Bowl Of Soul...WOW!

While walking around town you couldn't help notice the Sun Valley flair. We found this cruiser which has some serious style. We also enjoyed the 80 year old woman in a Tutu and Chacos.

After a leisurely morning we headed out for a little mountain bike ride. We stuck to a simple flat trails along the Big Wood River. It was nice to get out into the open on our bikes.

Rumor is that Metromint is producing a jasmine water next year, so maybe the big blue dots will become big pink flowers!!!
