Speaking of Wyoming, I was surprised to see that we knew one of the performers, David Romtvedt and his daughter Caitlin Belem. Over 100 years ago immigrants from Basque country began coming to their hometown of Buffalo Wyoming to herd sheep. David told us that 2017 will see the National Basque festival returning to Buffalo in July. We'll be there with bells on (not sheepskins in July though!) There is so much more I could say about the Folklife Festival and all the interesting things we saw. So, to help tell the story, I leave you with images to give you a flavor of our time in Basque country!
