A Basque in Boise
Home away from home
2008/06/12

You'd think that I'd be used to it by now. It started when I left the Basque Country to embark on this adventure of twelve years (so far) in the US. Agur to my parents, my friends, my town, and my way of life. It was a rocky start in Boise. That first year was very tough. But little by little, I got used to it and I have grown to think of Boise as my hometown, just like Ortuella was. And I've met so many awesome people over the years, I count myself really lucky. Some of them, like Dunya, will be my friends for life. But just as Dunya, many of them leave Boise to live in other places, for different reasons.

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.
