Day 9 - Yellowstone

Wow, still in Wyoming.

I got to see many interesting things today. We went to the Grand Teton National Park. It was pretty, but there wasn't much to do. And then we went to like this Mexican restaurant? In the Wyoming mountains? Kinda odd, but my chicken quesadilla was delicious.

We also saw Old Faithful! It's such a shame that the new visitor center opens a month after we leave. It was neat though. They can predict Old Faithful within ten minutes of when it will erupt. For of those of you who don't know, they got the name Old Faithful because it has kept this predictability for many, many, many years. It was quite interesting to see, and I read today that people used to use it for washing their clothes!! Anyway, there are more little geysers we should see tomorrow. I'll keep everyone posted.

  4. Oh yes it was very, very cool. I think I liked the other hot springs the most though - some were deep and crystal clear. I'll try to post pictures.
