Well, I finally made it to Yellowstone National Park (also known simply as ‘the park’) yesterday. I got my annual pass, so I’m looking forward to making into the park most weekends. Yesterday I made it just to Mammoth, which is just inside the northwest entrance of the park. There was a lot of snow on the ground and more coming down so I didn’t go too far into the park. See below for photos!
Devil’s SlideI haven’t been writing much because I don’t have internet at my place, so I have to find wi-fi at the library or a coffee shop in town. Anyways, things are going well! Work is fun so far and seriously, this is such beautiful country. I have lots of pictures to share, so read on!
Flathead LakeFrom Coeur d’Alene, I drove over the mountains to Missoula, stopped off for lunch and watched kayakers and surfers play on the river running through downtown. Last time I visited my aunt introduced me to Taco del Sol and their fish burritos, and let me tell you they are delicious. Seriously. Go there.
Well, everything has been packed, and goodbyes said. Now I’m on the road to Montana!
Highway 84 in the Columbia River Gorge
The drive was long, mostly because eastern Oregon and Washington is pretty flat and dull. I don’t have a radio or stereo in the car.
Oh yeah, did I mention? Leaving has been REALLY HARD. There have been so many goodbyes. I had a going away party, my student ambassador co-workers had a celebration for me (love you guys), and then I went tango dancing on Wednesday at Norse Hall and said goodbye to all my dance friends. I feel really loved, but it is hard to move away from a community of friends that I’m so close to! I will miss all of you.
Also, I think the thing that made my night was, while dancing with Momo, I hear someone behind me say “f*cking wolves, Jenny.”
Neither Momo or I could stop laughing.
Exactly right.
do all things with love
