Even Better than Yesterday !!!

Sorry about the pictures and no posting, the hotel's server went down just as I was in the middle of posting the pictures and had not typed a posting as yet. So, it's Monday morning now and I can finally tell you about the Sunday we had.

After we ran through all the usual words and phrases; spectacular, beautiful, gorgeous, wow, can't believe it, magnificent, isn't that great......we were left with "(gasp) OH MY GOD" After a while, we just were out of words and things to say and just held each other's hand and breathed it in. The Grand Tetons and the part of Yellowstone that we have seen are the most magnificent (there I go again) thing to see. It was incredible. We both just kept searching for the right words to describe it and we just ran out of words. There are no words to describe it well enough. In fact, we are going to come back through here on the way home and see it again.

We stayed in West Yellowstone, Montana last night. It's just outside the west entrance of Yellowstone. We plan to stay here again tonight because we are going to take the whole day and go through other parts of the park we didn't see yesterday

There was some trouble yesterday with the memory card on my camera. We had noticed before that one or two pictures were missing when we downloaded them into the computer. It started with our picture of Penny at Avis in SF, the very first picture we took. After finding out last night that we had "lost" several pictures that we took yesterday, we decided the memory card must be shot. We are hoping to find another today so that we don't lose anymore pictures.

Wayne was excited to see his first buffalo outside a zoo. Yes, he actually saw "where the buffalo roam".... We also saw some elk beside the road. When we had lunch at one of the lodges in the Grand Teton Park, we went into the gift shop and Wayne bought a six foot tall rough wood (knots and all) walking stick. It has a leather strap for your hand. It's really great. He has already used it and loves it. In fact, I took a couple pictures of him and his stick and of course they are among the ones we lost.

We can't tell you enough how magnificent this area is. The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone is a must see for everyone. I cannot believe that I have lived this long and had not seen it before this. If you haven't been here you really need to make your way here somehow. It is incredible.

I am going to post some more pictures from yesterday then hopefully when we get back tonight I can have more for you.

Oh, forgot to tell you, we are truly card carrying old people now. Upon entering Grand Teton Park, we saw the prices were $25.00 per carload. There also was something called a lifetime pass so we asked about that. It is $10.00 and gets you into all National Parks for lifetime. You have to be 62 to qualify and guess how old we are !!! So we now have a lifetime pass for seniors!! When we got to Yellowstone, Wayne flashed our card and in we went!

Note to self: MUST come back here, this is truly where God lives.

Off to another day in Yellowstone today...............more later.
Love to all
Wayne and Colleen
