jackson holy wyoming


alright yinz guys, 
after two blog entries, i am a tired blog writer, but on i must forge for our loyal 3 followers, our moms.

so yesterday we drove through the whole state of wyoming, which was wildly enthralling. it literally looks like the mario kart level so much that i took  a picture of it to show the world!

the most beautiful mountains in all of the land



we ate in this little cafe in dubois wyoming which is probably the smallest town in the world, besides alex's. I was really pumped about our waitress because she kept trying to make us eat, and she was nice as pie, and she made pies, which I didn’t eat because I felt naucious from sitting in the black hole of death (the backseat) but I wanted to. then jenni was like “ is she is your people, daina?” and I was thinking in my head “if it’s because she’s enjoys excessive amounts of pie and wears tie die Wyoming tshirts, then yes, she is definitely my people.”

then onward we went to jackson hole. We saw the GRAND teton mountains, which were the best thing I’ve ever seen. It was like germany where the Disney world castle is, which I’ve only seen in postcards. I took about 6000 pictures of them. we ate some pizza at alex's friend carol's house, who we are staying with. and then we went out on the town in jackson hole


saddles for seats!1 wahoo!

carol and alex


we went to this bar place in town where all of the cowboys go. it was wild. these old cowboys would scout the room and make girls dance with them, carol told us not to look them in the eyes. then this giant cowboy man from australia came over to our table and wanted one of us to dance with him, we nominated alex because of her tininess and easy ability to be lifted into the air. this giant man swung alex to both sides of his hips. It was like  country version of dancing with the stars with a giant and a dwarf, which is a difficult scene to imagine! then we went to another cowboy bar and had drinks on saddles!


because of all the cars



Then carol drunk dialed alex’s mom, who is her best friend, and we interrupted their anniversary moment. Then the next day we woke up and I decided that  I am one pound away from entering obesity camp, which I don’t even know if that exists, but if it does I’m only one pound away from it! Anyway so I went on a run/more of a walk on the trail right by our friends’ house, it was absolutely amazing, and I don’t normally say shit like that. It was the biggest greenest most tree-ey hills I’ve ever seen back dropped with the teton mountains. And as I was almost done I looked to my right. HOLY SMOKES! It was an animal of which type I had no idea! I was pooping my pants because it was elk like in nature and then wondered if I was going to to die/get charged. I didn’t. it just sat there, and then I walked on staring at it t he whole time, which I think is what you’re( <- notice this punctuation sarah fryd) not supposed to do. But I lived.

Then we drove to Jackson hole, the ski resort and went on the biggest tram in the world! Up to the top of the mountain, I would like to tell you this story about a tour group of 42 korean people, me alex and jenni, and Amanda britton’s cousin, our tram leader. The tram had 5 towers and every time we passed a toer the tram would rock forward, it’s a thing that it does, totally normal. Literally every single time we passed one of these towers, the Korean people in unison would ooooooooooh, for 35 seconds, it was one of my top 5 moments in life. Even Amanda brittons cousin was dying. Also then we were talking to the tram leader, Amanda brittons cousin, and she was like, I have a cousin named Amanda britton, and then we were like “we know her!” and that was that.










tramming

Then we went to a rodeo. Holy smokes this was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. This is how a rodeo, or at least this one, started, first there was a horse lap for Wyoming, the cowboy state, then there were like 3 laps for America, and we praised old glory, then we had like 5 laps for jesus, praise the lord, no one will get hurt tonight, honest to pete, your riding a bull, with horns, someone is going to get hurt, this ain’t my first rodeo, but actually it was.

Then yesterday we got really super sad about Bucknell, I was too depressed to even blog, which is not saying much because writing is one of my top least favorite things in life. I would say my least things in life are 1.paying attention, to anything, I have the add 2. Writing things 3. I only hate those two things

this is alex and her best friend in the whole world, lil kitty, that is her name

I would like to take this moment to talk about alex, my friend, who is a traveler with me, and her 3 things in life. 1. Animals: high pitched voice “COME HERE LIL KITTY, you are my best friend in the whole wide world!! YOU ARE THE FLUFFIEST THING IN THE  WHOLE WORLD!!” 2. Windshield wiping, like at the gas station, this is alex’s rekindled passion life, approximately every 45 minutes this is what happens “HOLY SHIT guys look at the windshield! Lets clean it!” and then jenni and I watch her scweegy like there is no tomorrow at each gas station.


these are elk horns

i look like i am about to attack them

old faithful was not faithful and was not working



christmas trees for days

who knew about idaho

the black hole of death, and the effing pillow
Now we drove from Jackson hole Wyoming today, to Missoula Montana, through Yellowstone national park, I’m hoping you know all of these locations. If not, google this, the internet is helpful. We started our journey at 9 am, at 6 pm, we decided, we are going to  screw the hotel, and drive on, so now we are dying, it will bring our total of the day up til 17 hours til we get to alex’s little cowboy theme town. Fortunately we are still alive in Idaho, the only things I know about Idaho are the following, Idaho, udaho, and that I think they are good with potatoes. But now I’m learning that it is beautifullll, which I like to say beeyuteefoll. There are a plethora of pine trees, which we have concluded, you could always have a Christmas tree if you lived here, like you could have a million.




There are some things that we do to keep morale high in our car. We check on everyone’s morale, kind of like in the Oregon trail, except no one has died of dysentery yet, we did shoot 470 buffalo though. We all put our hands in the middle console and shout “one two three, CAR” this really boosts our morale high.
