Meandering

Forgive this post, I’m on my laptop sans full-sized keyboard and oversized monitor so I may make mistakes. Yesterday we drove to Jackson, WY, walked about town and went off the beaten path to avoid expensive crummy meals with the bus tourists and instead went to a really great pizza place.

This morning, we started into Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. We couldn’t stay in the Park so had to get out for the night but saw some amazing things. More when I have photos. Taking photos was not my goal this trip. We took a few from Jim’s cell phone and I’m downloading them now to see if there’s anything worth sending along.

We’re deciding to do for the next couple of days but all is well and we’ve some beautiful country out here. Jim saw moose en route to Jackson. I didn’t, as I was driving. I saw a yellow-bellied marmot this afternoon. We did see three bison, and several elk herds. Old Faithful blew less than five minutes after we parked the car. We were first in for lunch at the Old Faithful Inn dining room and as we departed and walked a loop around the geysers, Old Faithful went once again.

More later. I drove a long time today and we saw both sides of the Grand Teton mountains. It’s a vacation but it’s good to check in with y’all and to check my email and wait to check on the dog (with a special young caretaker) ’til tomorrow so I don’t sound like a worried mother. Cheers! Dee
