Yes, I really did go to Yellowstone

I'm back from my trip! I got back early yesterday evening (just in time to watch a show on pygmy elephants! neat!). Today I've just been doing crap like unpacking, cleaning, and buying things for my move down to LA. I have a ton of pictures from the trip, but here are just a few to prove that I actually left, and wasn't just hiding out at the mall, hehe.

This was our "welcome" to the park--a huge buffalo on the road! The traffic had stopped a few miles into the park on our first day there, and as we were wondering what was going on, we saw this guy walking up the road. He was going really slowly and didn't seem to notice the long line of cars following him.


This is me in front of one of the pretty pools that were all over Yellowstone. They were a mix of blues and oranges and browns, and some were steaming or bubbling.


Finally, this is a funny geyser that was squirting right onto the walkway. We happened to pass by when it was going off, and everyone got really wet. The weird thing was, even though the air coming out of the geyser was really hot, the water was freezing cold. It was a really hot day so it felt nice, though.


That's all the pictures I'm going to post for now, but I'll definitely try to get more up later. We took a million pictures of different pools and everything, so I'm going to have to sort through them all.
