My goodness, It has only been a few days since I arrived here in Yellowstone and I am having an adventure of a lifetime. There are so many things to do here that it is hard to decide on just one thing to do. It's a good thing that I have four months to do everything that I can think of before I leave.
Well, as some of you may have noticed on my facebook page, I have finally gotten around to uploading some of the photos I have taken here at the park. Here is a link to that: http://www.facebook.com/david.valdivia.77 . Even when I look back at those photos I still have a hard time believing that I was and still am actually here. Every morning I wake up to the sight of geysers literally in my backyard and the smell of sulfur. The sulfur smell does not really bother me, in fact it reminds of the Fourth of July.
The weather here has been as bipolar as the weather back home. One day it is 80 degrees and then the next it is almost cold enough to snow. Wyoming, you are starting to remind me of home just a little too much ;) The landscapes here are so gorgeous. Plenty of trees that also remind me of home and hot springs and geysers that contribute many pillars of steam throughout the landscape. It really is a remarkable site.
My actually job here is better than I expected. I officially work in Pantry. Basically that means I spend my whole day in our high tech kitchen slicing, dicing, cutting, and occasionally cooking things. The people I work with are pretty awesome. The chef I work for is such a great person, I couldn't have asked for a better boss. Today I work and I think that it is going to be as busy as ever because the Inn that I work at is now opening for the season today. Wish me luck.
I have started writing letters and will deliver them ASAP. finding time for both my letters and the blog has been proving to be difficult, but not impossible. I just need to manage my time a little better. Which should not be so hard once I get a schedule that does not just go as far as the next day :P
Oh! And we have a bull Bison that hangs around the dorm that I live in. Apparently he thinks this is his turf and just chill with people walking around. I have been told though that it would be wise to keep my distance seeing as bison can be pretty dangerous. I think of him as our mascot of a sorts. People have even given him names. Some call him Buffalo Bill, others just Phil. My room mate and I agreed to call him Duke. My first day Duke was literally only a few yards away from the porch of my dorm where I was walking and he surprised me. I could not believe a bison was just sitting there. I still can't believe it when I see him.
Well, I better be going, I have to be at work in a little bit and I want to take care of a few things before I do. I will talk to you all again when my next post comes around, which should be Monday. I miss you all! Bye!
So exciting! Loved all the pictures you shared via Facebook. And can't believe about the Bison. That must be quite the sight. I think Duke is a great name for him. You should get a picture soon!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed the pics! :D Haha yeah Duke seems pretty awesome. From a distance anyways haha. Yes, as soon as i have time and Duke is just sitting around I will make sure to get a picture of him.
