Idaho

We left I-90 on Friday to make our way into Cody, WY and haven't gotten back into a highway until today. The last two days have been filled with small roads, up and down mountains, buffalo, national state parks, and beauty. I must say, these lands are empty of civilization. You don't think you need to drive up a dirt road for gas until you actually have to.


(somewhere in WY )

The last time i was in Cody, i was six years old. I don't remember well enough to compare. I have the feeling it hasn't changed much, though. Guille and i were both shocked at what a cowboy city actually looks like. Horses and cars, cowboys (with guns on their belts) and tourists (with cameras, like us) all strolling down Main street.

After this, Yellowstone and Grand Teton were nature porn. Ramón behaved more than correctly (including today, when we climbed the Grand Teton mountain pass on our way into Idaho). By the time we left Yellowstone we had seen so many buffalo, we were actually hoping for a bear to feed our adrenaline.

I swam in a glacier lake in Grand Teton and i wish i had words to explain the feeling. I was the only human in sight.

I can't believe we've made it this far...
