Yesterday we visited Mt. Rushmore. It was a clear day and the photos we took had a blue backdrop that was stunning. The museum that documentated the carving of the presidents heads was well done and the facts were presented in a fascinating manner. Really worth the trip. We stayed at the White House Resort! Drove on to Wyoming and had lunch in Sundance, the home of the film festival and Robert Redford. He was out of town, so we missed connections! When we arrived in the town of Buffalo, we happened upon a charming hotel that has the original furniture from 100 years ago. We stayed in the Herbert Hoover room (local lore has it that he stayed in this very room. Each room had old tube radios in them and the owner broadcast old radio shows on them.
We took a walk along the river trail and then through the charming town. The waitress at dinner told us that mountain lions were seen in town this summer. Cut down on the joggers for awhile. Town was miraculously plunked down in the middle of an massive expanse of grazing land. Had bison medallions for dinner. Off to Yellowstone today! Matt says hello and yes, we are still talking to each other. Sorry, Sylvie!
