Yellowstone

Yellowstone was amazing. Unfortunately, we can't seem to upload pictures at the moment. Must be some kind of glitch. So stay tuned. However, the best parts of my Yellowstone experience are the ones I can't put into words and that don't come out in pictures. For instance, there was the time that a bison crossed the road in front of our car at night (don't worry, we didn't hit it). He was so quiet and came so close to our stopped car. He looked over at us and went on his way. He was not as impressed with us as we were with him. But our cameras/film don't take pictures so well in low light. And who even cares? Because there is no way that a simple picture could ever capture the quiet of the night, the sound of the bison's footfall, or my feeling of wonder. And pictures and words can never do justice to seeing all the impressive mountains, steam vents, boiling pools, waterfalls, canyons, etc., that made me feel so dwarfed by nature and so amazed at what a chaotic and, at the same time, perfectly ordered place this planet is. I feel so grateful to have gotten a chance to go there. And there is no picture that can show you that.

On a side note, there was tofu at the restaurants in the park. Which gave me more reason to be amazed and thankful. Yellowstone, I love you!
