A Basque in Boise
Home away from home
2007/12/20

This is my first post in my brand-spanking new blog. KAIXO!! So obviously, you don't know that, aside from having kids, being from the Basque Country but living in Boise, I am also the biggest gadget freak you'll ever meet (see picture above, then keep reading, I don't have that smile anymore!).

Until recently I owned my MacBook, my Razr, my iPaq, and bunch of iPods. But at the beginning of September I traded all of it (well, not my laptop) for a sweet, sleek, new, amazing iPhone. I was on top of the world. I would have had a hard time deciding what to take to a desert island if I had to choose between my kids and my iPhone (just kidding!, what kind of amatxu do you guys think I am?).

 

 But you know, the choice would be really easy now that my iPhone took a bath along with my kids in the tub and does not work anymore (%^$@*!!!). Thus the title of my post. But it wasn't enough that it slid from my jacket pocket while I helped Maitane out of the tub and spent the next two days in a bag of rice under a lamp and then miraculously started working again on Saturday. NO.

 After having me back in iPhone bliss again for about 18 hours, the darn thing re-died on me, I am sure for the last time. I fell a little bit like the pie maker in Pushing Daisies ; one touch revives, the next one means dead forever. So now it's all up to the mac geniuses at the Apple store: will they replace my iPhone or will they call my bluff? I will keep you updated.

Some background
My name is Henar Chico, although most people here call me Chico because it's easier to pronounce. I'm from Bilbao, but I have lived in Boise, ID since 1996. My husband is American, born and raised here in Boise, and we have two little kids, Andoni and Maitane, who are lucky enough to live in the only state in the US that has (among other things) an Ikastola with teachers from the Basque Country.
