Basque Pride

Everyone is proud of their culture and Basques are no exception. Two people we talked to about where we were from mentioned that there are a lot of Basque people in Idaho. And another talked about a large Basque community in a town whose name escaped him but he remembered that Michael Jordan played basketball there (reader puzzle).

Every town seems to have a Basque history museum, we have yet to visit one, and the tourist information people always mention it prominently. In Gernika the tourist information woman said that the Old Basque Meeting House was the most important thing to see in the city. Something about an old oak and the keeper of the laws and some oath of the laws. Not IMHO the top site in Gernika.
