Yellowstone, here we come!

Today we are headed to Yellowstone. We woke up to a windy, 20 C, Twin Falls instead of the 35C  that we experienced yesterday. What a relief!!!!! I even put a light sweatshirt on. Looking forward to tonight (or not) when temperatures will drop to 2C!!!!!! Brrrr!!!!!

This will be our journey today: from Idaho's southern central border with Nevada and Utah, to its eastern central border with Wyoming.

Headed to Pocatello, ID, planning the rest of our trip from a moving RV. K and A are looking for "things to do in Montevideo, MI. Did you know that there is a city called Montevideo in the US?  We didn't!!! We discovered it while looking at our old fashioned, plain, very useful, PAPER MAP!!!!
Curious to know what Montevideo, MN looks like? Click here and enjoy! We'll share our experience with you when we get there in a few days. Keep posted!

Another thing that we are learning in this trip, is where exactly time zones change. Did you know that the US has 6 time zones? Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Alaska and Hawaii! Right now we are in Mountain Zone and soon moving into Central Zone.

Arrived at Pocatello, ID. A city from the past.

Here we visited the Museum of Clean. An AMAZING museum, all hands on, about the history of cleaning devices. We saw the first patent and prototype of a vacuum (no pic of this one), very old washing machines and vacuum cleaners, toilets, bathtubs, brooms and all kinds of weird cleaning devices. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun, and he made the 2:30 hours that we spent here, an incredible experience. If you ever come to Pocatello, you have to visit the Museum of Clean.

Hey! I remember these from when I was a kid!!!

We had an amazing time at this museum. It was huge, very informative and a lot of fun. The story behind it: a guy who started cleaning houses to put himself through college. His business grew and grew and became a national company until this day. The owner, decided to open a museum to normalize and generate more awareness and respect for the job of being a janitor. He is still alive, and we saw him at the museum. A real accomplishment and pride I must say, to have grown I this way.
