A little about Idaho

When I mentioned that we are going to Idaho, the few people who have actually heard of this US state remarked, "It's where they grow potatoes!"

Haha... Indeed indeed... But Idaho is not only about potatoes!

"Known as the potato producer, Idaho’s diversified economy is lead by the science and technology sector. Home to such companies as Micron Technology Inc., Hewlett-Packard and Dell, Inc., Idaho is the only US manufacturer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. Agriculture is still important to the state, producing a third of the potatoes grown in the nation, other industries include lumber, wood and paper products, chemical products, electronics manufacturing, mining and tourism."

By the way, no prizes for guessing that Owl will be going to Micron. :)
