Day 302. June 4, 2014. Geyser world!

LOCATION;  Yellowstone National Park in NW Wyoming

WEATHER:  Started out sunny and warm.  Turned to snow and freezing

This post is delayed as we don't have internet service....

We took the south loop road around the park, this time going in the opposite direction.  We stopped at a lot of geysers along the way.  

Each is different, all with  vibrant colors.  There seem to be more international tourists than American.  Lots of Europeans and Chinese.  

We took several walks around different geyser stops.  On this trip today, we saw some elk, lots of bison, and a trumpeter swan.

We had lunch in one of the lodges around the park.  There are about 10 "villages" around the park, with lodges, cabins, campgrounds and general stores.  We had a wildlife meatloaf sandwich made from elk and bison.  There was a nice fireplace near our table

After lunch, it turned cold and rainy, so we didn't feel like hiking.  We started back to the campground and watched the outside temperature drop and drop.  The rain turned to snow.  It was 34 mid-afternoon, so I'm sure it got colder at night.  

We have electricity, but no Internet or TV channels here, so we watched a DVD that I had picked up at a previous campground....many have little libraries where you can swap books, DVDs, CDs.  It was the Stepford Wives...from 2004.  Nice and cozy to watch it with the heater keeping us warm. 

DINNER:  I used the last of the frozen shrimp.  I sautéed them, then added some Worchestire sauce, butter, and hot sauce.  In Louisiana,  they call this barbecued shrimp.  On the side, I did a vegetable mix of sautéed zucchini, onions, and the rest of the cannellini beans.   The last time we shopped, the only good salad greens came in a large container, so we have been eating salad every night, too!
