*I met a man at the mine tour today from Australia. His son is a punter for the University of Washington Huskies. Apparently, many colleges in the United States recruit students from Australia to be their punters because, as the gentleman explained to me, “our kids start playing football (their name for soccer) at a very young age, so they learn to kick the ball. American kids learn more about throwing the ball.” I thought that was interesting. He and his wife have been traveling to some of the games. They are heading back to Seattle this weekend to watch UW play Arizona, then will travel back to Australia. It is amazing the little tidbits of information you learn from short little conversation from people traveling through Wallace, Idaho.
*While visiting with another gentleman, he told me of taking a Salt Mine Tour in Austria. It is the Salzburg Salt Mine Tour with Underground Boat Ride. He said you get on a big slide, and slide down into the mine. Then you get on a raft and ride across a subterranean lake. He said it was fascinating, and something he will never forget.
*Even thought the temperatures are dropping, it is still so beautiful outside. My garden is loving the weather, and the flowers are still blooming as beautiful as ever. Here are some shots of some of my roses in bloom.
