It's been a couple of days since we've been back from our vacation, but my system is still not in tuned to my real world. I feel tired in the most weird times of the day, am hungry and craving for junk food! But i am trying to be good... made szechuan veggie last night!
It was a great relief to find the inn very nice and clean. Coyote Blues was nestled on top of the hill surrounded by pine trees... One drawback, no TV! We find it hard not having a tv in our room because we always watch tv before going to bed. We didn't waste a day just laying around. We were out and about by ten in the morning! We made a list of what we want to see and do and by the end of the week it was done! 
We went to Wyoming to see the Devils Tower first. It's one of my favorites. Specially the story behind it. They say a bear trying to catch two girls made all that marks on the side of the mountain. Must be one really big hungry bear! Then we went to see the famous Mount Rushmore Memorial. There were lots of people from all over the world! I learned something about America's history too. We also went to Custer State Park to see the bison and other wild animals. I was like a little girl screaming with glee to see the bison and the mules. I find it really cute that "Donkey" came up to my window and stared at me, waiting for me to pet him. 
It was sad to see the forest fire though... it was arson. Why are some people cruel? On our last day, we went for a horse trail ride. Which was not a good idea because we were so sore the next day and the day after that! I ended up with Zipper my horse, who keeps running off in full speed because the horse behind him bit him on the butt! I have to hold on for dear life everytime! The third time he did it i gave up and decided to walk instead even if there was still a mile left on the trail. Rick said that was very smart of me to do that. Although he gave me crap about it for a couple of days. He claimed he's more sore coz he stayed on the horse longer! hehehe I still smile whenever i think of how silly i must have sounded and looked yelling at the horse! But, oh well, i'm still in one piece and not hurt! That's more important!I'm really glad to go on this trip. It made me appreciate God's creation more. Seeing how wonderful His work is and how
He strategically built these marvels in the middle of nowhere so that people who live there will have something. It made me realize how much God loves me, how special i am to Him. I am thankful for Rick too for being such an environmental freak! I wouldn't have had the chance to see South Dakota, the Black Hills, the Spearfish Canyon and the first hand experience with exotic animals, without him. It truly felt so good being surrounded by nature's beauty. Life is indeed wonderfully good!for more photos click here
