Rocky Mountain... hi!
Welcome to Colorado, U.S.A.
After a mere 13 hour flight, full of very bad movies, not quite so bad food, a few good podcasts (They Might Be Giants and Cinecast are my current favourites), we made it to my parents house in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. This area is home to bears, mountain lions, elk, big-horned sheep and sasquach. So far we have seen one of the above (not including the stuffed mountain lion at the rangers' station). Any guesses which?
Today we headed into the Rocky Mountains National Park, which was amazing. I've stuck up a bunch of photos on our photo page (click link to Our Photos on the left - and check out the updated January and February 2006 albums as well), and here are a few from our walk around and over Bear Lake.
We took a wrong turn, but luckily Heather found the sign... by digging.
This is me sampling the worlds largest lemonade icypole.
The lake itself is completely frozen over. I don't really know why, as the temperature when we were there in the middle of a lovely winters day was a toasty -50C.
Tomorrow we're off skiing... I'll get Heather to let you all know how her first lesson goes.
