Downtown | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

While I lived in Boise, the state capitol building seemed to be under constant construction. It may have since been fully renovated. Another impressive aspect was the town’s cleanliness (no sarcasm implied; it was unusually clean). I have yet to visit a comparable city, except perhaps for Des Moines, IA. Finally, if you are ever in the neighborhood, you must visit the Egyptian Theater. It was established in 1927, and has been beautifully maintained. I’ll never forget watching “It’s a […]

Boise Train Depot | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

The Boise Train Depot has a long history (established in 1881). In 1924 it was remodeled to reflect a Spanish style architecture. It was operational, off and on, until 1997. It is presently listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places, and is a popular tourist attraction.

Old Idaho State Penitentiary | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

This is a popular place to exercise. Located behind the penitentiary are large bluffs and walking trails. Many people park their cars at the base of the hills and walk/jog the trails. You could spend all day here depending on how far you’d like to go. Many of these pictures were taken at the top of these bluffs.  As a side note, the penitentiary is said to be haunted. For those of you who are fans, the Ghost Adventures crew […]

Anne Frank Memorial | Boise, ID

April 22, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Boise, ID ~ Boise is a beautiful town with many parks and trails. My daily walk consisted of walking past the capitol, through downtown, and past this particular park: The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial.  In addition to the beautiful fountain and sculptures, the memorial park contains a large “Quote Wall” featuring historical quotes from inspirational figures. The nearby bridges are also spectacular. Wintertime was fun; living with snow was new to me, now it is just an annoyance.

The Man Who Fell to Earth | Artesia, NM

April 22, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

If you are a David Bowie fan, check out the movie “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” It was filmed in Artesia and surrounding areas. The town isn’t very large, but it has tons of character and many historical elements.

Frozen Great Lakes | South Haven, MI

April 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Photos were taken in late December. Walking on the frozen shore was fun, but a little dangerous. The wind gusts were also quite powerful.
